Hash talk

[Gator]

Make some hash lol

[Rwise]

Actually I'm thinking of pressing it into tablets.

I have a pint jar of decarbed GG4 sticks removed and finely powdered in the kitchen, sprinkle a bit in my sausage for breakfast, and another gallon ready to destick and powder. Also 2 quarts of, well IDR and 1 jar has no label.

I guess what I do would be considered hand pressed,I like doing it, helps with stress and anxiety

Frozen, airtight, like long term weed storage. Hash cures and ages like weed.
You could go balls out and store in an argon purged vacuumed mason jar.
Your hard hash might have been mechanically pressed. Temple balls are hand pressed. You can smuggle more hard hash in the same space as hand pressed.

[Bluey]

How do you best store it and rough shelf life?

I have come across hash in Morocco that was so hard it was difficult to work with

[Gingerbeard]

Dinosaur skin balls.

[Gator]

bag appeal??

[Gator]

Does hash have bag appeal,I think maybe

[Gingerbeard]

Bluey Seems most folk around here freeze and/or grind material before kiefing and seems most folk have a reason. But someone said something that makes a whole bunch of sense: Frozen bud breaks. That means you have more particulate matter. Same-same with ground bud.
Video's I've seen of people processing marijuana for kief is whole bud, unfrozen. At least one of the videos was, maybe, I'm not dropping names, could have been that Cannoli hash dude people worship.
For bag selection, I don't know why I don't use them but the whole bag screens look pretty nice compared to the bottom only screen bags. The pyramids are for the washing machines but can be used in buckets.
Now. Once you decide kief extraction is the bee's knees, the cat's meow, the wine in the bottle... take a look at static kief. If I was not so into my dewaxing, I would be into static hash. Maybe that's next since the only direction I can go with my dewaxed resin is distillation. This ginger don't have the money, space, or quantity to run an oil still.

I've been working with silk screen for years and I can honestly say that I get a better return from the bags, and I don't have to be out on the back porch in the middle of winter trying to dry sift

[Bluey]

I have the drill and paddle and plenty of buckets. Do you freeze your bud or grind it first?

I'm guessing you put all the bags into the bucket and remove 1 bag after being fully worked, 220 micron removed first then work again then remove the next bag and so on.

Do you just dry what you catch in the last bags then press through a screen?

[Gator]

And always rinse the bags out with ice cold water when you are done

[Gator]

I use 2 buckets, one is for the bags and one is for working the plant material,I also use a drill and a paddle, the ones used for mixing drywall compound work well,I work the material for 15-20 minutes before pouring it into the bags, and then I work the material like plunging a toilet for another 15-20 minutes ,then I remove the first bag and set it aside, this will be worked at least twice more (220 micron bag,), the next two bags are the 190&160, whatever is in there goes in the garbage, everything after that I keep for hash

[Bluey]

Pretty sure they are these bags that Gator is using
