Made some Heisenberg special bubble hash today and decided to drop a how to for anyone who happens by and might find this info useful.
You will need:
Bubble bags, any set will do really. i use a four bag set 220,120,73 and 25 micron bags and a 25 micron pressing screen.
Ice, i used three bags but expected to use four.
Clean water, 4 gallons. If you wouldn't drink it don't use it.
a bucket
A preferably metal stick to stir and poke with.
a spray bottle
A microplaner or cheese grater. Cheese grater works fine.
A spoon, Works best if it's cold. you can freeze it till you use it. personally i just don't.
Towel and a box to put the hash blobs on to start sucking water out of them
You will also want a bigger box to microplane them onto to fully dry after freezing. Mold can be an issue if you try to dry the full blobs i know this from experience. I don't get that issue with the freeze and microplane method.
First thing is prep. Freeze your gallons of water for about an hour - hour and a half and freeze the buds and/or trim( i used both 50/50 this time, regreting mixing it.) You want every thing cold. i don't bother trying to cool the room i just keep extra ice on hand to keep the water cold.

Put the bubble bags in the bucket smallest number first biggest number last. The bag with the biggest number 220 on mine is your work bag it's only for holding the material and ice, the other three are the filter catch bags.

Yes btw this is so clean i do it in my two empty hydro buckets. I clean them with some bleach afterwards and they're like new. Make a layer of ice then spread out a layer of buds/trim across it and then stack more ice, buds, ice, buds until the ice is at the level you want it.

Now add that ice cold water untill it's just about at the top of the ice. You make it almost frozen so it doesn't melt all the ice when you pour it in.

Now you wait, about 5 or ten minutes and let it get really cold then start poking and stiring away. The amount of time your stir depends on how much you want per pull. I prefer to stir for 15 mins on the first pull ten on the second and 5 on the third. 5 for any thereafter if there is. After 15 minutes of stiring stop and it needs to sit for 15-20 minutes. I bang on the side of the bucket to help trichomes sink to the bottom of the bucket. after the wait time has past pull the work bag out let it drain into the filter bags and set it in another container, you still need it.

Now you need your spoon a towel and a spray bottle. When you pull the first one it drains easy, on the second and thirs it slows because the mesh is so tight. it's the trichomes plugging them give it a quick light shake and lift the trichomes and you can get the water out a lot faster. i roll the bags up and use the spray bottle to spray the hash together at the bottom of the bag then just spoon it out onto the pressing screen on the towel to dry. the towel sucks the water out faster, makes a big difference.
120 micron

73 micron (my favorite)

25 micron.

I push them into little piles to make it easier to microplane them. Beach sand, this is what it should look like. I got a lot of plant matter in the second and third run. I think it was because i had so much trim in there.

Now rinse your bags quickly with cold water and get them back in a bucket, put the work bag back in. Fill it up with a little fresh ice and pour the water back in from the first bucket. Repeat all the steps from the beginning. You can see how you get more and more plant matter each pull. some people go 7 pulls. the green stuff is still pretty good in their defense.
I did three runs. no idea how much it is but it's a lot and i probably will never weigh it because i have no intention of selling any of this. It's mine! Well, a few happy friends there will be too.
When your done put them all on cardboard and get them into the freezer for about 90 minutes. and freeze the grater too it helps keep the hash from sticking too bad. Grate the has balls onto the big sheet of cardboard and dry it for at least a couple hours, make sure it's dry before you package it. depending on your humidity it can dry in a couple hours or over night. then if you have them package them up in some silicone containers with as little air in the m as possible. just about any container will do but it sticks pretty good to some i'd recommend silicone or glass. This was 15, 10 and 5 minute stirs. Got most of the good stuff first pull.
