Hello, my nick name is Charbs and I am from Buffalo. A partner and I purchased the 5 gallon, 4-bag Bubble Bags kit and are very happy with the quality and durability of these bags! I had a few questions I was hoping to get some answers to..
1) Is the 45u and 90u bags worth purchasing? Is the quality of hash that we would get that much better? Our 70u bag is usually the bag that yields the most then the 25u is usually a darker less amount. What kind of crystals would these 2 bags catch?
2) Our setup: we use a power drill with a paint mixing bit, we once ran a batch with over 2 ounces of trim that yeilded close to 19 grams, mostly coming from the 70u bag (on the first run through!). The inner parts of the hash were extrememly melty and when cured for a long time it all became full melt (with a little finger pattying). We recently ran a batch with the same amount of trimmings but only yielded a very disappointing 8 grams. We pay top dollar for our quality trim (a local strain called "Buffalo Blitz" that I am not familiar with the genetics. Widow is in there I believe). The question of the matter is are there any routines you like to follow to achieve a more consistent yield? Is there any routine to follow for trying to get full melt every time?
3) We run each batch twice, with the second run through producing about 1/3 less hash then the first. It is quite time consuming waiting for the 25u bag to drain, does sinching and pulling aggresively wiggle out thc crystals through the 25u bag? Should we clean off the bottoms of the bags with rubbing alcohol to help the water drain faster if there is a crystal build up?
4) Quality of trimmings are directly related to quality of hash is what I have found. Do you agree that purchasing a QP of terrible herb would yield hash of lower quality or bad taste? Would it yield more then trim and is it worth the risk in decrease of quality?
5) Sometimes when we run the trim twice, we look under my 420 Scope and see crystals still on the matter, anyway of extracting those more efficiently?
We have run over 25 batches, most more then once, but only achieved full melt bubble on a couple occasions. We are searching for the sound of consistency and any tips or help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading and you'll be seeing alot more of me on this forum I recently discovered!
