Wow... I left this 1 alone fer a while, figuring someone would have a few things to thow into the pot..... lets have a go, shall we?
1. Freezing yer starting material is always best, at least 4 hrs, 24 prefered (I myself find a couple weeks even better) but letting it chill down to 4 deg Celcius and sit for 15-30 min b4 mixing will work too.
2. The purist hash comes from a few things IMO:
a) keep strains seperate if possible, some strains melt way more than others
b) mix gently, with a bubblenow machine or by hand with a wooden spoon, shorter mixes make for less contaminant in the hash
c) starting with fresh material (more important to freeze well, 24hrs or more, again, I prefer weeks) is better than dry, as less breaks up to become contaminant
3. There is no need for 3 buckets like that, put all the bags into 1 bucket, the smallest micron size first, work bag last (with an 8 bag system first is 25u, 45u, 73u, 90u, 120u, 160u, 190u, 220u work bag last in) then pour the water into (or mix in) the 220u work bag, then pull them up outta the bucket 1 at a time.
Wow, sitting here smoking some excellent Purple Kush bubblehash, and kinda fading out..... back to
