I had the same problem then. I was at a guys house where his friends came over to make B.H. - I guess all those washing machines get a bit loud for some people.
At some point i was thinking about making pot beer to sell in the pot clinics.
I did put the 'recipe' for pot beer on several big...
After 2 days of making B.H. i was sick of shaking bags. The 25 bag was being a giant pain for little recovery. I needed something to shake the bag so I started thinking up alternatives ...
I snuck in the bedroom and borrowed some of my g/fs vibrators. She has some that move around like a snake...
I got a little too serious homebrewing. I had a grower friend that had lots of friends.
I gave them half the beer and I was up to my neck in Home Cheapo buckets full of BH water quicker than you can say 'memory loss'. Some 'water' literally looked like it came from the black lagoon! The water is...
I made 300 gallons of bubble beer and there is no grit to it.
There is still a lot of THC in the water that gets thru a 25 micron bag.
I had lots of friends throwing the water out so I tried making beer with it.
It can be VERY strong as several people passed out while standing up.
If you don't...
We are trying to get approved for making meds for vets.
If that happens I will have a bunch of 20 gal machines !
We have farmers on board to donate 1000 Ps already !
I live in N. Cal. and it literally rains product here (sometimes free !).
The last time I legally grew I threw out 100 Ps of small buds.
I will post a pic of 1 P of rosin soon if the mods won't get mad :-)
I have been a medical pot patient forever and have a script for 25 Ps.
I tried an experiment pressing 14 grams at 180 and 190 for 4 minutes.
I had to repress the 180 and got a lot on a second 2 minute press.
The 190 seemed to get almost all on the first press ...
but was almost a gram less on the total ?
I will try it again tomorrow - but I really like low and slow...
I used one of those 5 gal washers for a couple years.
I recently got one with a spin side for $85 off Ebay.
I use the spinner on the bags of both machines.
Much less labor squeezing the bags and more recovery too :-)
Thanks for the replies - I press it all into to rosin as it is hard to make the ultimate B.H. out of $20 a P machine trim. I did 2) 10 minute runs yesterday and still got 90 g of wet B.H. out of a P. That is better than some of the bud I turned into B.H. lately. I will keep trying less time...
I usually make lower quality bud and trim into B.H. with a couple 5 gal washing machines.
I have been running 15 minutes and rinsing and do that twice with 1/2 pound runs.
I would like to save some time but still get some good results - Maybe 10 min twice ?
How much time do you use when using a...
I got tired of my wishy-washy H.F. press real quick ...
so I did a couple easy mods. and now it's awesome!
I got rid of the long bolts in the upper corners and used 8) short bolts with washer shims.
Once I got it as close to 90 deg as possible I tightened the 8 bolts.
When that was done I used...
I have a 12 ton Harbor Freight press and 3" by 5" DABPRESS plates.
I am getting a 2" by 4" prepress today and am going to press some B.H. we made from bud.
We are using 37 mic bags from Press Club - 120 sec press with 20 sec to heat up.
Repress 60 seconds - I was going to press at 190 f slowly...
I have been doing some experiments with different temps and times.
I did a 7 gram puck of bud at 190 f (vrs 215) and got 14% but it took 3 presses.
It was 90% less sticky. I used frozen ceramic plates to clean up all the sticky stuff.
Anything that is cold and flat works as a cold plate. Even a...
