What up Farmers! Been doing some jedi meditation shit and came up with a mad scientist type of water hash idea. suggestions and critique are greatly appreciated!
this is an adaptation of the modern multi-bag method, but without the bags. instead of bags, modular (stackable and detatchable), threaded, screened cuffs similar to sieves are used. these stackable cuff screens form the bucket itself, whereas the bags sit within eachother inside the bucket.
main unit (body): cylindrical drum, made from a food-grade, heavy duty plastic or polymer. modular cuff design, base has threaded lip for bottom cuff attatchment. there is also a top extension cuff with no screen to provide plenty of room for the herbs and ice to float high above the first screen. each modular cuff has a particular micron size screen just as the bags do.
more on the material: a good heavy duty plastic insulant, like the inside of a cooler, to keep the process nice and cold
more on the cuffs: each cuff has a screen sitting in the middle of it, not strung too tight, with just enough slack so that the weight of the wet trichomes, plus the downward flow of the water, creates a concave type of shape for the screen to collect.
agitation tools: something like an egg beater or kitchen-aid arm that both moves in a circular motion and rotates at the same time. the actual head of the mixing apparatus would be without any sharp edges to ensure minimal plant shredding. some sort of high-intensity, high-frequency vibration component would be integrated into the mixing device for greater agitation. also, one might even want to pound on the rim of the drum with a wooden spoon for even further agitation. i think strong vibration that practically "scares" the brittle trichomes off the herbs would be a great way to prevent excess plant matter shred.
the process: assemble drum unit with desired combination of cuff screens. components fasten by threads which are reinforced with o-rings for a good seal. fill the drum 6" from the top with good cold clear water, then add appropriate amounts of ice and herb. start syphon hose pump thing
a word on the herb: fresh or fresh frozen. you want the trich's to be brittle, while the plant matter remain pliable. this way during mixing, the surface of the mixer head brushes across the surface of the plant without shredding.
the syphon: the base has a hole in the side right near the bottom where a hose is attatched and then run back up to the top to fill the drum continuously. this keeps a steady downward flow so trichs dont get kicked up like dust during mixing.
use imaginary hypothetical power mixing tool for 10-15 min, leave for 5 mins to allow for trich sinking and separation, come back and mix for another 10-15 and let sit for at least 20 mins. drain through bottom by detaching hose. unscrew modular cuffs one by one and scoop your gold!
