I made some ISO hash the other day and since I have so many people ask me about it all the time I thought I would take some shots of how I do it and my results so others can compare or learn.
All I need for supplies are:
-2 mason jars or other glass containers
-1 Bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol anything 91% and above which is what I use. Also I have heard people have excellent results with Everclear.
-Pyrex dish whatever size you got handy
-Some sort of metal style strainer- I use 1 half of a tea ball
-A razor blade for when it’s finished
I try not to use any plastic when I work because the ISO can pull flavors or residues out of them. The larger the Pyrex dish you use the faster the ISO will evaporate. The strainer you use can be just about anything. Some people use sink drain trap screens. One thing though, some people like to take a coffee filter and use that as the strainer. This is not suitable for your primary filter as it takes far too long for the liquid to drain and it ends up sitting with the plant material far too long for our purposes. If you wish to further filter the mixture after you have separated the plant material a coffee filter would be suitable. Though actually I prefer a slightly dirty hash so I skip the second filter.
I use a “Quick Wash” method to get a more solid finished product that is easy to handle and use.
