Bubble hash rosin9/23/2023 The high mono terpene content in fresh frozen material I find tickles my nose/throat, I digress… fresh frozen vs fresh dried is a debate for another post. For fresh frozen material you can get away with lower temps but I like the profile of fresh dried material more. I press almost all of my hash at this temperature. Remember that when the rosin is hot off the press it is the most susceptible to oxidation. This is critical to protecting the quality of the hash rosin. Pressing one bag per parchment paper allows you to get it in the fridge quickly, and reduce oxygen exposure. For a 3×5 press I like 2×4.5 or trimmed down 2×6 bags.Īlthough the photos below show multiple pucks being pressed on the same paper -this is not really the best way to do it- it just makes a great photo-op. My favourite bags are made by supreme rosin. It can be challenging to get even distribution in a large bag. If you are having blowouts with large bags try this. If using a larger press you may want to still press multiple small bags on a larger plate (vs using larger bags). If working with high terpene/sticky material it helps to be in a cold room when filling the bags. Trim the tag end of the bag so there is approx. I have gone up to 25 grams for a 3×5 press but it can decrease yield and increases the risk of blowouts. Step 2: Fill the 25-micron Bagįill the 25 micron bags with 10-18 grams of bubble hash per bag. You don’t get as even distribution (and presumably slightly lower press yields) but it is much better than trying to sift hash in a warm environment. It as mentioned above it can be molded into bars and then frozen and slipped into the bags. If this is the case you may need to forgo sifting the hash. If your hash room is not sufficiently cold the bubble hash will clump together as you try and sift it. If you are working with air dried material use your fingers to make an elongated bar that you can freeze and insert into the bag. Do not bother trying to sift air dried bubble hash, it will be too sticky. This helps the hash fill the bags more evenly and can help prevent blowouts. Most producers I know sift their freeze dried hash prior to sifting. Straight Sided Glass Jar (U-line jars are best). Parchment paper (I prefer Kirkland or Supreme Rosin paper).Commercial/Production: Sasquash V2, Sasquash Yeti 10-ton and 55-ton.Note that this is part 2 of a 2 part tek, I recommend reading the bubble hash tek before you proceed How to Press Hash Rosin The pressing technique for hash rosin is different from flower rosin but if you follow the steps below you will never have a blowout, I can almost guarantee it! If you’re coming from making flower rosin you may suffer from blowouts as you get used to the nuances of pressing hash rosin. Hashtek products are designed for making hash rosin and not flower rosin. As the expression goes “if it made a good flower rosin, it would have made a better hash rosin”. Hash rosin is more like harvesting the grapes and pressing just those. In that thought experiment flower rosin is analogous to taking full grape plants (branches and all) and pressing that to get grape juice. Think of trichome heads as grapes and rosin as grape juice. The best analogy for hash rosin vs flower rosin is the grape analogy. Hash rosin “butters up” unlike most flower rosin and is usually a much lighter colour. If you’ve made flower rosin before it should be noted that hash rosin is a different tier of product. The main requirement is a press with heated plates and 25 micron mesh bags. Making hash rosin can be done at home with minimal tools, or in a licensed facility using sanitary practices. Hash rosin can be used as a baseline for making a full catalogue of cannabis products including rosin carts, full spec edibles, topicals and a plethora of different consistencies of dabbable product including jam, diamonds, crumble and THC-A. The process of making hash rosin from bubble hash comes down to squishing the oils out of the trichome heads while leaving the waxy shells behind. The result is a delicious, easy to dab badder of THC-A, cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes with all the plant matter removed. It is made via a completely solventless process (using only ice water, agitation, pressure and heat). Hash rosin is the cream of the crop when it comes to cannabis extracts. This article will teach you how to make hash rosin from bubble hash (aka Ice water hash).
