Good discussion, thanks to all.
My question is about scraping the bubbled hash from the bags using a spoon. Maybe I'm just being greedy but it seems that the spoon or credit card scraping always leaves a good bit of residue in the screen. It's not much, but I cherish every delectable bit.
I wonder if I might get that last bit of yield by wrapping paper towels around the bottom of the bag itself and pressing out the water directly instead of trying to scoop it out to transfer to a screen and then pressing. Gonna try that next run.
I no longer bother separating the different "grades," couldn't tell the difference really. I don't crumble it either, just roll it up into a nice little tootsie roll so I can slice off a nibble at a time for the pipe.
