From Kief to Hash...

[Dieselgrower]

so I ended up sprinkling so water droplets onto and and used the hot pot of water. seemed to have worked better @ least its workable. still a little soft but im assuming itll harden over the cure. thanks for the help farmbuck

I'm going to try this also Dieselgrower i asked the same questions.

 

[Farmbuck]

Remember it need to dry up to be able to harden.... Dieselgrower & SoOrbudgal "harden" is that a proper word ?? Remember I'm French-Canadian lollllll

 

[Dieselgrower]

i may try to compress it some more if it stays soft. i do plan to cure for a 3+ weeks

 

[Farmbuck]

Try to compress while it's still moist Dieselgrower

 

[Dieselgrower]

will do, it was soft today when I looked at it.

 

[Farmbuck]

Remember it take a few days before the water evaporate...

I use the dry ice method to separate the resin from the trim (I usually get about an 8:1 yield). Then I press the resin into pucks with a stainless sleeve press that you whack with a rubber mallet. You can stop there if you smoke with a pipe. However, I prefer to smoke using the pin and glass method and the raw pressed kief is a little too crumbly for that. So I add a little heat and pressure to my pucks with a clothing iron. I set the iron on its lowest heat setting. I wrap the pucks in parchment paper and place that inside a damp wash rag then iron with firm pressure for a few minutes. This firms the hash up so you can stick it on the pin without it breaking. Up until now I have only done this with trim. One of these days I going to try it with flower.

Idea: When making hash with the whole flower, you won't have to trim.

Here’s some of my last batch of bubble hash. Been curing for about 3 1/2 months and just keeps getting better and better!

 

[Dieselgrower]

was just over 8 grams. i may heat again slightly and squeeze it once more. but still a nice block of hash:laugh:

 

[Farmbuck]

Nice !! With some practices you will be as good as Frenchy Cannoli hey ?

 

[Farmbuck]

Kool..!

 

[Farmbuck]

Yep for my best hash is what I used and I let cure for months.

 

[Dieselgrower]

Howdy FarmBuck. Would you recommend the 4x7 or 7x7 box? Why is there a divider in the 7x7 box? Just curious. I've never used something like this before. Thanks!

 

[Farmbuck]

Hi Mazzariman

I use the 4x7 Ryot box and thinking of getting the 7x7 for more kief. As for the divider this video will explain it's use.

[Mazzariman]

Thanks much! Looks like the 7x7 will be fine.
