Hash talk

My thing would be to freeze it in a walk-in and process it in the freezer, dry/frozen sift. I worked in a -30° when I was a kid. That sort of thing. Gator has a walk-in city to work with.
But then there'd be the problem of broken leaf matter getting knocked off in the sift and having the same soggy leaf bits in the catch.
But would leaving it in a walk-in desiccate the soggy leaf bits?
Gator time for some experimenting.
 
Some micro shots.
Dry sift first, from the 2fast Hot Cakes trimming.
Bubble hash from my wash day. Dried 7 days about to be pressed. A blend of plants.

Just thought it was interesting to see both, so I posted it 😎

Um... Ice water hash outside? Wouldn't that make slush out of agitated ice water and ice out of agitated slush? Clog up the mesh with iced over trichomes?
What about using ice cubes for agitation but no water?
My very first and only attempt at fresh frozen was turning down the Kenmore and putting in a bubble bag of fresh trim. When things froze up, I worked the bag in the freezer. Proof of concept was there; space and larger quantities of trim were not.
Remember, city-boy mentality.​
 
That is good. I got to thinking about that and started to wonder if you were on a boat that sunk or something. I understand testing limits.
 
Treading water has always been easy for me.
I have always had a little extra fat and poochy belly; fat floats! Don't panic. Control breathing. Watch the skinny people go down when the boat sinks. I'll also live longer when the plane crashes on the mountain because my body has more of itself to eat when we're down to eating our shoes.
Now THAT'S body positivity, y'all!
 
My whole wash day was outside between -6c and -11c. That’s really what you want, not ice. One of the main points of  IWH is to be more gentle with trichrome removal, to limit plant contamination.
​​​​​​​
Keeping things from freezing is a bit of a challenge. The washer was fine until the drain hose finally froze , and 5 gallon buckets of water take a long time to freeze. The bags and the pump sprayer I used to wash required attention to keep from freezing
 
Heat and pressing after washing and drying.

Just short of 10% return, my best so far.
30 grams of finished temple balls. Two 10 gram balls for storage and two 5g balls for consumption and sharing. I will let them rest for 30 days to do their thing before I sample.

This run was using about 40% Ice Cream Cake CBD, 30% Tropic Thunder, 10% Lillooet Landrace all buds. Plus about 20% Hot Cakes trim from the Going2fast run .
I used a 220 bag to catch leaves etc, then a 160, then down to 45 (my main work bag), to catch the full spectrum product I’m after over nine washes.

Ya I’m happy with the return, I did wash 310 grams of mainly bud to get that so you gotta have some weed on hand.

We’ll see if I dried it enough. This was the finest grind, of the washes. I hope 6.5-7 days at 55F and 38-40% did it. I left the other two rounds to dry more. It’s a balance between dry and loosing the good stuff to oxidization. Not dry enough and it could spoil during long term storage.
With a dehumidifier, a 4” inline fan in a window (in winter), and an inkbird temp sensor I’m able to keep a small bedroom at those settings temporarily as a dry room.

Hell no! lol
2 days of just washing and seiving , 7 days to dry, 2 hours to press and roll that batch. It’s a labour of love for sure.
But if you want something of quality there are no short cuts to the work, no matter what you’re doing.

I am pleased that I will be really stocking my hash cabinet. Looking like I’ll have 2.5 to 3 ounces by the time I’m done all of it.
I’m into aging it so its nice to have enough that I can put some away for a couple/few years down the road, and still have lot to enjoy and share now
 
Thanks @Ckbrew
I follow the Frenchy Cannoli method for my IWH
The way he teaches to press is to boil water , fill a wine bottle (carefully), and roll it over the hash with light pressure, basically the weight of the bottle is enough. You do that for 7-10 minutes repeated 3 times.
He created this system to make decarb “fool proof”. Following this process mimics the traditional techniques use over the ages. This part of traditional hash making is key to the magic that happens when you turn flower into heat pressed hash. Creating many compounds that are not found in the original flower.
 
Do you put the hash between a couple of squares of parchment paper, you've got me interested in this method
