dry sifting to hashish pressing

[freezeland2]

not this time,
i left it out in the open done there for a few days as it’s in the 50’s humidity around 60.. my buddy weren’t dry crispy crumbly but crumbled/broke up nice between the fingers, but i used a medtainer to break up..

Do you recommend freezing the buds first?

Do you recommend freezing the buds first?

when you do something like that just be aware that plant material can break up finely faster.
with two screens maybe not put into freezer but maybe the fridge, if from the freezer id break up carefully in a big bowl than back in freezer than gently sift that for only a couple mins and see what you got.. but if the weed has been sitting around for a couple months than your probably good as is.. as long as the buds were healthy not brown deficiency affected leaf..

the card on the right is after cleaning the sift (contaminate leftover) on the 149 screen, as you can see by the colour difference, card on left is from the 75 screen.. so try to use the colour to see when you removed most of the resin from the contaminate.,

not done yet but pile is getting bigger!
75 screen..

smaller than 75, on the table..

Thinking I’m going to get the 165 & 250 screens. That will complete my set of all 4 of the 25x36” screens.

How much flower you start with. I saw the bucket and all but I’m curious in terms of ounces to produce that pile. If you know…

honestly i don’t know, even hard for me to guess i not a weed guy, it’s a 5 gallon pail and i’d say half full or a little less.. the resin i did not clean it either but it wouldn’t be much smaller if i did..

I just ordered a 4 screen set and a cylinder press for my pounds of butter bud from last year that are sitting around starting to degrade... Merry Christmas to me I shall refer back to this thread for pointers! So since it's older and been curing in jars for over a year... should I not freeze it first? I was planning on doing it out in the cold ass garage.

the doobies i’m smoking in videos is this hash, thankfully it’s good, smoked 3 already and i’m nice and stoned.. i’m guessing 10% of that is contaminate in there..
i’m thinking of cleaning the rest of the 75 micron and adding it to the stuff on the table and hot bottle/hand press, whatever i do i’ll post, might not be tonight..

id lay out the weed in the garage for a few days before sifting it.. no reason to freeze it especially if it’s cold out there..

I’m actually up here visiting and just had my buddy put last years leftovers in his garage fur the last couple weeks Gonna ck it out this week and what I get. I think it’s plenty cold here ..

 

[GNick55]

cleaning the 75..

 

[GNick55]

clean your brushes by letting them sit in freezing cold water for a while, shake off, air dry..

used weed/dirty sift is garbage.. use your jewellers loupe throughout the whole sifting process to more precise..

hot bottle pressing..

 

[GNick55]

oh it’s says 6.3 grams..

Full melt is best for temple balls.

@GNick55 is that a special plastic you're using to roll it out... and is there a certain temp the hot water should be? Does the type of glove matter, and is that a shaving brush you're using? Sorry for all the questions... I've never made hash before and you clearly know what you're doing... kind of want to try that technique.
