Hash talk

Hey, thanks and junk! Your rundown is my process.
Take a look at my previous post. That was the first run. Text for the previous post is in the previous, previous post. That is basically the detritus I get but the run in the picture was from 2 ounces of bud in a much less successful kief'ing in gallon bags.
From experience, this would have gotten 20ish grams from blasting. I had considered doing 80g ethanol and 80g BHO and dewaxing both. But that would have more than doubled the work. My blasting setup can do 42g at a shot so I would have had to blast twice. The whole 160g's got done in 5-gallon bags at the same time. Processing weed is much less daunting when you can take steps out of it.

Wow, congrats, ur killing it man. I like it. Just to clarify, u started with 160g bud, make bubble hash kief, then dissolved the kief in ethanol, then proceeded with refining? Are there any pix of the de-waxing filter after the run, how much did you pull out? Imo your yield % is respectable for the first run. It would be interesting to see how a blasted resin would compare. Way to ferberjerote.

The 6.5 gram money shot. Room temperature consistency is fluid. Got my dewax on! It dabs as smoothe as if I were pulling from a vaporizer. Very, very little taste. 2 fair size globs of goo and I'm fair well ferberjeroted.
About 3.5 grams of the same is in another jar and drying out on a plate after a minor spillage incident. So, I'm calling this a 10 gram haul. That 175 grams of bud I started with turned into about 160 grams after the friend gimmies. Ratio wise, about a 6.25% return. About half what I could expect from blasting. I don't know how much kief I started with but I am confident I would not have gotten more than a quarter teaspoon from another run through the bags. In the end, I am happy. This is the best I can make. My penultimate. Soon as I win one of the lotteries, I'll be posting about my fractional distillation setup. Just you wait, boy-o! Unfiltered First filter, room temperature Dry ice and isopropyl2 hours later
After 2 more filterings. From here, it was off to various double boiler techniques.

I guess this stopped being a wholesome, family oriented forum... Men are such pigs.

That's m' boy!

Nah. The Brazilian was the next article.

Hmm... I figured you more as a mohawk kind of guy.

Remember that time you were at the barber and the barber asked what hair style you wanted, and you pointed at the picture in the Playboy? Man, that was confusing!

[Bluey]

You got to have pics.

Just think Playboy. No pics, no sales. Barber shops the world over go broke.

Length is important!

[Gingerbeard]

Photos are in the next post. This post was getting lengthy. I do so hate a lengthy post, don't you?

[Bluey]

Must have been half decent. You imagined you posted photos.

The nutshell version.
An embarrassingly relative small amount of ice water kief from 80ish grams of an entire plant soaking in however much alcohol is in that green jar. It was eventually divided into another container the same size to up the amount of ETOH to better fill the funnel. Both containers were put in the freezer to get down to my personal best 0° for about an hour. That low is not going to do me any favors.
Both jars got poured into the funnel and sucked through using a vacuum pump I have for another vacuuming purpose.
The residual dried into fluffy nothingness. Couldn't get it to stick together. The filters were not made in the same country as the funnel, so the fit is not quite right. There was a little leakage. The white spot on the filter was where the filter didn't quite fit, but I had the forethought to double-up and caught nigh on what all leaked.
The resulting tar smells great and tastes like boo-boo. Probably the wax I couldn't freeze out is the taste. But the high is super interesting. I've never full on 'shroomed or dropped acid but I imagine the high from my washed kief is like being on a hallucinogen without the hallucinations.
I bloody well hate everything about making IW hash to the point of not smoking what I make. But this kief washing is something to consider if I want to full pull away from my current method of resin making.
