More education please.
@BabyFacedFinster mentioned live rosin and live hash rosin.
What is the difference. All my live rosin is made so:
Fresh frozen herb. Washed with ice through bags creating bubble hash.
This hash is then dried and pressed.
voila, live rosin.
so what is live hash rosin. Is it made using kief from a tumbler....
Thanks
It’s hard to really say what the exact differences are without seeing them all side by side, but based on our market here, I would guess the price differences come from either starting with better hash, or adding in some post processing labor/time.
For live rosin I would think they were all starting from fresh frozen material then washed and freeze dried for a “SOP.”
Cold tumbling is possible, but probably unlikely for a company offering multiple grades of rosin. The main appeal of water hash is the control offered by the range of filter bags, and you lose out on that when tumbling. Tumbling is more commonly done on non “live” rosin, where the jar may just say “hash rosin.” This is commonly done (commercially) with trim, whereas live rosin is almost always whole plant fresh frozen.
Tumbling trim is usually done by a weed company looking to offer a secondary product, whereas live rosin is generally a primary product with the whole operation devoted to that.
Often times post processed rosin will hold a premium over the “fresh press” consistency. This is usually the “cold cure” or the “diamond sauce” variations. Whether it’s actually better is subjective/debated, but there is more work involved which raises the ticket a bit.
Here in California rosin pricing would be the cheapest starting with the “full spectrum” followed by the ~100u premium press, followed by the cold cure post-processed premium press. Some companies also do a “second press / re-press” as a more affordable option as well.
