When 8=68

The brand is 'Casolly' but I really don't think it matters. Just google 'kief press.'
Or maybe it does matter. Even with the cap end being submerged in water, there were no leaks inside the tube. That probably matters.
 
I have a similar press. I don't understand the reason to add heat. I get my discs hard as rocks with no heat. Am I missing a step?
 
Yours is more badasser than mine or you can twist tighter than me. Pressing with no heat, mine makes loose pucks.
I used the heat because it seems to be the way.
 
OK now I'm wondering about that too. Even boiling at 212 degrees is not hot enough to decarb it so is it just to get it harder? Could I heat it in the oven and use gloves with the same effect? What if I went to 240 for 40 min so it would decarb or would it. Complete newb on this so bear with me. Farmbuck any input? I know you use a diff method so your opinion please? Thanks guys!
 
I have a sharpstone brand press expensive but I can make a lot of pressure with it. I also sift through a 99 micron screen before I press. I tried 76 micron but lost too much taste. I get full melt at 99. What does not pass through 99 I give away.
 
What I was sifting was very dry. There was no way I could not get plant matter. Full melt isn't happening. Happy, gray ash is what I get.
Do you grind or sift nugs?
 
Suuuuuuper mellow. Super, super mellow. Relaxed without being tired. My feet and hands feel lighter and more comfortable than usual. Thinking is getting to be too much of a hassle.
Hardly a being. A consciousness waiting for it's consciousness. Anti-nirvana. Filling the void... ah, shit! I'm high.
 
TOKABIGONE I don't decarb kief cuz I don't do edibles. Mine is very simple : Now I'm using very hot water to mix it with kief. I made sure it's very saturated to create the paste. After I use a iron cast press to "compress" it . Again after I hand roll it into little balls. My opinion ball tend to stick better well like I say it's my opinion. After I let it dry for a few days so the water can evaporate leaving a hard chunk of hash. I tried the boiling water bottle method with gloves but I found it a bit too clumsy. So yes decarb it if your intention is to do edibles.

So now do you want to make fun of Farmbuck, lol! So i been shopping around today and researching kief pressing. The one I want is the large heavy duty Grindhouse 6" x 1.65" dia stainless steel model for $160. Almost impossible to break with hands only. What I will start with is a cheaper smaller ss 3.5x 1 for $15. If I had lbs to do maybe but let's start small. Interesting thing is cold press gives you blond hash and heated gives you black tar hash. i believe there is more flavor in blond but maybe a more potent tar?
 
That is a bowl load of money for a press! It looks like you're paying for shine and style, TOKABIGONE
The pounds I had this time were a fluke. Probably never happen again. Anything bigger than I have would be silly. It presses nice 2 to 5 gram pucks. 7.5 grams would be as much as I would put in.
Making fun of Farmbuck is an ongoing thing. Not just a 'now' thing. I mean, c'mon! He's Frenadian! How can I not? How can you not?
I even found his website:

Farmbucks
 
I'm not talking anymore... Go ahead laugh !! And beside it's a stupid website. It does represent who I am !! PpFfTt I mean "peas". Really?

What goes through the 99 micron screen is full melt. Most of it comes from trimming over a 220 micron screen. I also make dry sift by chopping up my B grade buds over the screen before I make bubble hash. I have about 2 pounds b grade this year and can't wait to get started. Made a beer run earlier and picked up some ice to start tonight.Try a finer screen and you should have a easier time with the press and get a better smoke.
 
Oh, well if $15 is out of your budget I'm sure your glad you got one already, chortle. I would certainly never have a use for the BIG one, lol! This is all for shits and giggles and to try new flavors and enhancements, right? No I mentioned that in passing while looking for stainless steel. I know a little bit about metallurgy in
stress and tinsel strength so reviews on aluminum and brass breakage led me to stainless. There's nice titanium one too. About the same strength as steel but a lot lighter (think aircraft mainframe structure). And you just quit pickin' on my auto buddy too, fella! Pick on someone yer own size, Brandon!
