Hi Everyone!
Like some of the other posters have mentioned I spent about 4hrs last night looking at all the pics and reading a ton of stuff... with that being said I have a few questions before I go buy a BB system from my local retailer ^_^
1. What is the primary difference between the 4 and 8 bag system? because I can't really afford the 8 bag system... from what I can gather it seems that the only difference is that you don't get to separate all the different size glands - but I really dont care about that -I dont care if its all together in one pile... so do you get a lower yield from the 4 bag or just as I said not able to separate all the different size heads?
2. About drying... seems like I have read all kinds of answers here from 24hrs to 2 days to a week... and bubbleman said about someone's yield - he aked if it crumbled once it was in the ball form... is crumblin a sign that its dry - or that it isn't dry?
3. Once it IS all dry - do you simply press it together with your hands and roll it aroudn etc in order to get it to look "black" like black hash? just kinda confused what to do with it once it IS dry... ie: what my options are once it's dry.
4. agitation: is it safe to use a hand mixer that has metal spinner thingies? or should some kind of plastic head be attached to the mixer? If I am going to use a wooden spoon is it lieterally a STIRRING (round and round) motion I want to do? how fast do you actually have to stir - I read it has to be fast enough to se bubbles in the water? how gruelling is this lol - is a electronicmixer that much better/easier?
thx
I'll be going to pick up my kit next week - looking forward to it - and will post pics of my first batch
