Here's the down & dirty on the Bubble Hash run from yesterday...
So, it was honestly a trial run for me, I didn't take a bunch of pics or measure shit, I just wanted to see how it all worked.
So, I will definitely put together a proper tutorial when I make the next run...
I ordered a cheapo set of bubble bags from the Zon like 2 weeks ago. They are the 1gal size (I wish I had grabbed 5gal)
The micron sizes are
25
73
160
220
They go in the bucket sequentially by size... outermost bag is the finest screen, the innermost is the course mesh.
I prepared the buds by freezing overnight. Next step was to mix up "the mash". I used a 1gal pitcher, ice on bottom... bud/ice/bud.... but ensure to have ice on top. Fill with water and let sit in fridge for an hour.
I had to transfer my mash to a bigger container to make it easier to stir.
I stirred vigorously for 10 min, took a break, then did 10 more min of mixing.
Poured mixture into the stack of bubble bags (in a bucket), mixed for a bit, allowed 5 min to settle, then removed the top bag, wringing out the mash into the next screen.
After that, it's just a matter of slowly raising each bag, one by one. It's almost like panning gold. I could dip the bag into the water to wash the hash off the sides, then let it pool in the lowest point to scoop it up with a spoon.
Rinse & repeat for each bag.
This kit also came with a 25 micron drying screen. I just put some paper towels under it & scooped my hash out & piled it there to dry.
*lol, that's not my yield tho.... that's just what I've been too lazy to clean up yet.
I let mine sit a few hours, then got impatient. I just folded up the drying screen & towels to press out remaining water.
Again.... sorry for the half-assed tutorial. I'll get it right next time. LoL
