The ice is only to cool the water , the water vortex removes the Trichromes.
You want to avoid the smashing of ice if possible as it increases the risk of plant matter contaminate.
Thats why I do it in the cold, less ice, and it also keeps things a bit less sticky for the separation phase

Another run done, everything sieved for drying.
whew! That was a lot , about 850 grams total, basically 2 days.
Maybe 5-6 different strains.
One was mostly 1:1 CBD . Orange Cali sherbet and Ice cream cake
One was mostly Green Thai
One was about 40% ice cream cake CBD, 30% Tropic Thunder, a landrace and Going2fast Hot cakes made up the rest
All washed for full spectrum hash, collected 160-45 micron
Happy to see the consistent colour in the patties across the washes. Mostly brown/tan not really any green till the last wash or two. Means it is pretty clean.
On to air dry for about 5 - 7 days at 12.5C / 55f, and as dry as possible. I can usually get to 40% or a touch lower
Then heat press, and roll into temple balls for cure and store, and enjoying 😎

All of these hash posts are reminding me that I have 18+ oz that I need to make dry ice hash with.

Hey, Dabber.
Am not really high. 😎
I had almost 2 lbs that I needed to process. Will get 70 - 80 ml of RSO from part of it. Takes time to watch over the process so I don't blow up my lab!! Safety first.
Need to concentrate the rest into something else. Therefore dry ice hash. Can do on kitchen table. So easy. All three sifts are good.

It is good to see people being safety conscious in their lab. The setup I use is operated with years of experience behind me. I try to clarify things as I post, but there are so many details involved in running the batch safely that I could write a book on it. My friend with ALS asked me if I could teach someone to run a rig like mine. My response was eventually, what lab bench skills does the person bring with them? He said what do you mean? I responded, can I teach someone to scuba dive? Yes eventually, but does the person know how to float, swim well, snorkel? These are skills developed on good foundations. I explained that I was not trying to be snobbish, rather I didn't want to do a half baked job and give them only enough knowledge to hurt themselves. If you don't know, ask, read, study.

And that's a good reason not to jerry rig Ckbrew. If you're not a good tinkerer, there's no shame in buying a setup, whatever the case may be. Do lots of research. Know the dangers, not just the benefits. I did some questionable stuff with the blasting. Probably shouldn't have done any of it, but I'm glad I did and I'm glad I don't.
Gots me some real fine crispy nugs getting crispier in Santa Ana conditions just begging to be dry sifted. Do I sift a little before RSO? Do I let it go straight RSO? Probably take a nap, then decide. What will the hash dreams say?
Geez... sounds like I've had a few!

We compromised. No bloody way could I not gather a few trichomes.
2 ounces, one ounce at a time, 15 seconds of light, stem agitation in a 220 bag. Best I can figure is .75 grams. That's killing me. Best dried bud I've been able to get and it would give me some freaking awesome dry sift. I still have 2 ounces ready I can't get the hay out of that will for sure get washed.
Do you remember what got me to making my first batch of RSO? A dry sift run was a large bust because the air was so humid the trichomes were sticking to the bag and the bucket return was horrible. I gathered what I could from the bucket and dumped a quart of Kosher into the bag and evaporated what came out. I think it's better than the BHO I was making. Both can taste and smell like burned, fried chicken butthole crumbs, but the RSO head and body are beyond BHO, without the residual butane bonus!
I even have enough other dope sitting around I could put this away and let it cure. Lightly packed in a little jar, somewhere. Maybe two jars? Maybe use a warm pollen press?
I'm rationalizing dedicating more work to at least one of those first two ounces. My mind is probably already made up. We'll see what happens after Dabber does whatever she's so anxious at the door about.
Feel me?

I like the bags , although I’ve always used jars. Ive used bags mostly with already cured product. I’m still experimenting using them exclusively. Apparently, they don’t need to be burped. Which is nice if true.
I’ve stopped using the humidity packs. I used both Boveda and Boost. I think they work but I became concerned they may be changing something over the long term. Plus I’m happy to not buy more stuff.
I’m lucky where I live it’s usually at least 50-60% humidity so not bad naturally for storage. I do watch and spritz water on a jar lid if dry, long term too wet hasn’t been a problem for me.

Yep. I did an ounce. Did it right brutal with a little coffee grinder action. Not espresso grind. More like drip.
2 grams came from a 220 micron. Combining that with the earlier sift and sugar leaf and trim gatherings, there's 4 grams in the picture.
Not sure what the shine was. I thought it was water because the press was submerged in warm water. But it was super sticky and made my finger smell like dope. It has since gone away.
Shavings are from the press are being smoked. Mr. Stickypuck is folded up in parchment paper, in a medicine bottle, in a seldom visited cabinet.
