Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

[WelshBrok]

Haven’t posted here in a little while as my press (dulytek 7 tonne) is having some plate alignment issues which is really killing the yields but here were the last couple before I raised a support request:
NYC diesel (13%)

Gasoline zest (11%)

Night queen by Dutch passion.
I find the flower a tad boring. The rosin however is very nice.

C99 bubble hash rosin. Been in the freezer for a few months but it's come back to room temperature and looks lush.

Drool!

Found some really nice, well made, cheap (about US$0.35ea) rosin bags to suit 40mm puck makers,

The puck on the left compared to another not so nice quality, both had 2500psi on my Dabpress gauge with the same parameters except the bags (both 90 micron with 10g of similar bud)...link to them (I just ordered a few lower micron bags to try),

This is a 20g press of 160u - 45u bubble hash that returned 16g. Double bagged 37u inside 25u at 175F.
Self grown, washed and pressed.

Double bagged 37u inside 25u

Why the extra 37u bags? Wouldn't just using a 25u have less nylon to trap/rob rosin...looks bloody lovely by the way @bizwaxzion!

I've had less than stellar results single bagging hash, so I always double up now. I supposed the second bag does hold a little more back, but hash rosin flows much easier than flower rosin so it's hard to say.

Time to jump in this thread with a super-PWT (po white trash) experiment in the name of boredom.

Inspired by my Sous Vide ABV butter experiment, I was further inspired by a redditor who did a method similar to this.
I already discovered the joys of the straightening iron, went to the iron plus a clamp (broke the iron) and now I am on to try out this SV method as I am a huge fan of my SV wand.

In this method, I went SUPER cheap.
$2 C-Clamp
$4 cutting board that was hacked to make my 'plates'

The SV wand and Food saver are already in my arsenal of cookery, so this is pretty close to as low budget as I can get. Heck, Im even using less than 1G of starter bud for this experiment just to see if its worth my time and effort.

The plan is to SV at 175F for 5-7 minutes per run.
This oughta be fun LOL. Because - why not?

Ill Be back


Woof... A dismal failure.


Good thing I sent next to nothing on this experiment.
Carry on

I’m curious. I think I follow. You sandwiched your bud between parchment, then between two pieces of cutting board, then cryovaced that, put clamps on and dropped it in 175 degree water?

Yup exactly.

Maybe I should have not put it between the plastic as it may have given a thermal resistance (Or at a minimum, left it in the bath for MUCH longer)
I might just invest in building my own press sometime down the road.

 

[The Stray Fox]

I sunk the bucks into a press and feel like it’s been a worthy investment.

 

[FlyingLow]

My press has been the best investment I've made in any tool over the last 10 years.

It will outlast any vape, glass, etc.

Absolutely! I agree 100%

 

[LesPlenty]

Yep, a Dabpress or similar is great. I have a 10t but a 4t would have done (the gauge is the main reason I went 10t).
I do not think I will ever need/use the extra capacity of my larger unit (I have pressed up to 50g of bud at a time) as it does easy work of my 10g pucks (which seems to be an easy sweet spot for 40mm bottletech pucks in my press)

 

[AGBeer]

Your fuckery runs deep in this thread.


So deep in fact that I pulled the trigger on a 6t, compressor block thingie, some bags.

Apparently Amazons fuckery runs deeper

Looking forward to joining the ranks
Love this place after all of these years

Respect brother. i actually had a blowout on christmas eve from a bag folding open, so i def understand the double bag
How do you dry your bubble?

Here is my 45-159u pressed thru 25u

Thanks - and that's some nice looking stuff there too! This is the first year I've had an opportunity to make bubble hash and I'm stuggling with the drying process. I want a freeze dryer but damn they are pricey. That stuff above had some water in it when pressed so I had to do some jar tech to dry down the rosin. I just recently pressed 8 grams of hash that I froze and then micro-planed to dry and it came out nice. I've also tried drying down the patties in the fridge for a week between screens and paper towels before pressing and refolding (10 or 15 times) on my rosin press with the plates at 125-135F and finally drying as a thin patty. Here's my latest effort.

Great looking stuff from both of ya, was the bubble made from fresh material or dried? Would love to start learning but I don't have the room for a grow yet so I can't do fresh frozen.

Think it would be worth turning a QP of dried buds into hash rosin?

I used few months old trim for the stuff i made. I personally really like the cured resin.

Is it worth it? depends on who you ask....
If you ask me... then yes!

Everything within reason ofcourse, has to be some frosty stuff that you can be sure will yield some good amount hash.
If ur getting low quality herb at an unfavorable price then i wouldnt bother!

I washed both cured (dried & jarred) and fresh frozen.

As to 'worth' - hard to say - guess it depends on how bad you need that QP vs 4 -6 grams of hash rosin. I wouldn't do it if I didn't grow - but I really enjoy exploring and learning the process and that's much easier when I didn't have to buy the flower.

@Blargas541

To get into hash rosin (live for the win) it really is preferably to grow. It's best to be in a position where you can be comfortable with washing several hundred grams of product for not very many grams of fire.
I had my non growing mate over last time I did a run and he was stunned at the amount of flower needed for not a lot of return.
I think it's worth it but I have more than I can consume at the moment.....
Good luck

How do you dry your bubble?

I have my latest made from fresh frozen trim and popcorn nuggets stored on 220micron hankies sealed in a plastic container with dehumidifier 'eggs' that usually live in my ammo cabinet (they are able to be dried and re-activated)
I Just pressed the new driptech bags again with my buds and pushed the second press of the puck to 3000psi on the gauge (500 more than normal) and there was no sign of blow-out, pretty impressed,

@LesPlenty
Interesting....
How long to dry?

How long to dry?

I will go and check on them shortly and find the bubble hash thread to respond to your question.
