You ABSOLUTELY MUST try dry ice hash!! I was blown away by the LOAD I GOT FILLED A SHORT BALL JAR! With golden pure hash. Orbital polisher made for a huge take I guess, BUT I'm afraid it broke too many trichomes into pieces dumping their oil on the screen. My ice water extractions didn't get near this amount nor quality and this was much easier and faster. Take a look at the pics! This is from 80 grams of 2018 white widow flower, frozen, broken by hand then shaken in the bucket with the dry ice then sifted out over a large mirror. With a take like this, I'm willing to buy a new bag for each sift if I have to. Sure like to re-use mine though....I would have thought the alcohol would work. Haven't used the bags myself but interested in the solution since I plant to some day
That looks nice. I will get to it maybe this summer. I have some buddies that really want me to get some done.You ABSOLUTELY MUST try dry ice hash!!

I had no choice. Like many, I'm sure as the new harvest approaches we take a look at the inventory and its a "holy shi*t" moment to realize you need to make room for the new! So I've tried half a dozen concentrating methods over the years but dry ice hash is SO FAR SUPERIOR that I won't do any other method again. I store/cure in my wine storage cellars, see pics. Great for temperature and humidity control as long as the harvest fits! I harvest in batches so it has worked so far.That looks nice. I will get to it maybe this summer.

I bought Baddude bags. I scrubbed forever with 91% alcohol and a nail brush with paper towels behind to absorb the oil. Got well stained paper towels so I did it a second time but it's still STICKY!!!I use boldtbags. They are safe to dip in isopropyl & then spray with water hose. Clean bags is the most important part of making hash because like you said once its clogged you are only losing product to the bag.
That is the classiest drying room I have ever seenI had no choice.

Yeah I heard turkey bags were great... Have yet to use em though. Anything I keep around for a while goes into jars but the bags sound a handy for a long term option.Turkey bags are a great option if your tired of all the jars. I grow multiple flavors & mix the similar phenos to reduce the amount of storage space needed.

I harvest in stages and grow two or three phenotypes per season so I really need the bottles. AND, like you I like the process of segregating them into separate bottles for harvest times as well as phenotypes. AND I figured out my cellar holds more than I need so if there is more than it will hold I've grown too much. (nice problem to have). I've used up my bartering avenues so its "smoke or go home" if you know what I mean. As an ex wine collector, having bunches of different types to compare is a big part of the fun.Turkey bags are a great option if your tired of all the jars.

thanks, I'll try this. I didn't soak in the alcohol first. EXPENSIVE with 91% alcohol isn't it? My 91% was brushed on with a nail brush for 30 min. and a new bag is cheaper than a quart of 91% iso online. I also of course rinsed after. I don't have a power washer. Thank you for your reply.I let the bottoms of mine soak for a few minutes in a container full of alcohol, turn it inside out & blast everything back out with the water pressure.
This bag has about 40 batches run thru it now & still looks like new.

I use turkey bags for decarbing after purging the air out of them. I like decarbing in a closed environment to keep off-gassing of terpenes to a minimum. Then it can go directly to the freezer for a short time to cool them down and bind them back on the plant matter.Turkey bags & large 62% boveda/integra boost packs are awesome for long term. This mandarin dreams is probably almost two years old now lol. I can still squeeze the nugs without crumbling them. My homies wife has been smoking nothing but this since I chopped it & other than losing a little smell, she has no complaints...
Another option is the goose bags. Those are supposed to line a 5 gallon food grade bucket perfectly

Wow I never thought of that... Great idea. I always just did the baking sheet and tin foilI use turkey bags for decarbing after purging the air out of them.

I'm concerned with the solvent contact time. The advisor from BagDude said to keep the solvent off the stitching! So as usual in our hobby it's try and see!I know mineral spirits are cheap and do a great job of emulsifying. Maybe a quick clean with mineral spirits then a good rinse and possibly alcohol after? Just thinking outloud.
