    I did what you have going on. The biggest dig is the scene you setup with the snow in the background. All I see out my windows are concrete and houses with ugly trees. Yes, there are ugly trees.
    I want everything you have going on there, but storage and workspace are limited to what is basically a large motorhome. I use the gallon size bags and buckets.

    Here my last run with the Green Thai that I grew on my roof untill it snowed last fall.
    The hash turned out decent, the plants weren’t that potent so the hash isn’t crazy either
    The second time I used my hash washer instead of a drill, it is a much nicer way to do it.
    Ive messed around with all the bags like in the pic below from an earlier run, but I’ve settled on using 190 bag to catch the garbage, then 160, then straight to 45 which is my work bag,
    so it’s a full spectrum. Plus less bags less hassle

    My fears are completely irrational. I know that. But they keep me warm at night.
    A metal bottle would work just as well.

    I would recommend care with the bottle , but I have done it dozens of times now and never a problem. You really don’t need to press down on it very much the weight of the bottle is almost enough. I do splash a small amount of water in the bottle at the beginning to warm up the glass and don’t fill it to the very top

    I follow Frenchies process as close as possible , and agree with Mr.F that he is the master of modern IWH

    I keep the ISO @ -20⁰C simply for better storage. It degrades fast if not perfectly sealed at room temp.

    I'll be doing trim. Buds are too valuable in my mind to be messing around with iso when I've never done this before. I can get plenty more iso so happy to experiment with pour overs as well as the quick shake method and then through the paper coffee filter and then evaporate off the iso in a baking tray or similar.

    I've smoked hash quite a few times but not in the last 25 years and wanted to revisit the experience and I'll have too much trim to store it.

    There is a tradeoff making QWISO as there is with any extraction method Bluey . The longer your material sits in solvent, the more will be stripped. I saw a video where the people kept harping on the Q. The ISO should do nothing more than pass over your material into whatever collection container you have. The not quick ISO is RSO where plant matter is soaked for hours or days.
    If you do it too quick, you miss stuff. If you do it too slow you get stuff you do not want from the plant.
    Seems to me there is no need to freeze alcohol unless you plan to winterize. Bud is frozen to harden trichomes so they break off plant matter, stay firm, and don't stick. Solvents literally melt trichomes to remove them from plant matter. Same-same with nug smashing. Freezing the alcohol will make it harder to dissolve the trichomes. Another something I read explained the warmer the alcohol, the quicker and better the trichomes were dissolved.
    My best quality QUISO product process would be room temperature ISO over whole nugs for a couple seconds. Winterize the solution. Filter. That is a whole lot of time and waste for a small return but will have the least by-product.

    Just looking for a quality extraction using iso, not Tom Cruise recommendations

    Safekeeping? It's drugs, man! Drugs are for use FB. You are talking wine. Safekeeping means keeping it safe from someone stealing it. I don't worry about that because people know I share. Is someone stealing your stash? Want me to go have a talk? Or are you talking RCMP?
    If it stays lit in the bowl, it is ready. If the resin don't sizzle, it is ready.
    I'll modify an old surf adage to your perfect hash ball quest. May you never roll your perfect ball. After that, nothing will ever get better.
    The movie Samurai with Tom Cruise and that Japanese guy who dies at the end. The dying Japanese guy spends a lifetime of looking for the perfect cherry blossom. At the end he realizes that all cherry blossoms are perfect.​

    I'm looking for extraction methods using isopropyl that get better results than quick wash iso

    I refuse to press down on hot-water-pressurized glass bottle.
    My alternative is a kief press in warmed hot water.

    Solventless extraction

    Do you freeze yours in a freezer for safekeeping for a couple of years ? I do and take my word you don't loose much potency out of it. Here is my timeline : curing flowers for 2-4 months, making hash, curing Hash for 3-12 months in a mason jars in a dark control room inside of a oak box, freeze for several years in a sealed tight jar. But remember I learned from the best and is name is Frenchy. So much to learn and so few years left to make my perfect ball.

    Is there an improved or better method of using isopropyl than in a QWISO approach? I have 4 litres of 99.9% iso in the freezer and want to use it this grow on the bud trim.
