Hi everyone,
I want to add terpenes to kief before pressing it into hash.
How exactly should I add the terpenes?
How much terpenes is recommended %?
Which terpenes are best suited for this?
Any advice or experience would be very helpful. Thanks!

Are you using deetilate?
It may be a good idea to have the terps added in a range of 35-40c
Add the terpenes into your destiliate prior to mixing.
If no destiliate is used, you can spray terpenes directly on the Kief. Be aware this will darken the kief significantly.
Edit: with the spray you can freeze the terps so they are less aggressive. However yellow Kief will still turn grey in best case scenario.
If you’re pressing into hash, add the terps afterwards. Add it before, and you’re cooking terps for no reason.
No destiliate or deetilate.

Terpenes can work, but the tricky part is keeping the kief’s texture and pressability right too much can turn the hash greasy fast. I will choose the terpene profile around the strain rather than chase a fixed %, and start very conservatively. What kind of kief and terpene source are you working with?
Kinda interesting to hear what exactly this means.
Press it to a brick and then what just add the drops on to the brick?
I slightly misunderstood and assumed you were pressing into hash (rosin).
If you’re just pressing into a brick for transport or the like, it depends on end product. Infused hash, or pressing hash will have different %s and methodologies.
When adding terpenes to kief before pressing it into hashish, you must be extremely precise. Terpenes are powerful solvents, so using too much will turn your material into a liquid, sticky mess that’s unsuitable for smoking. The optimal amount of terpenes is 1%–3% of the total weight of the kief. Never exceed the 5% threshold. Always use a scale for precise measurement: for every 10 grams of kief, you need only 0.1–0.3 grams (approximately 3–9 drops) of terpenes.
Yes sorry I mean pressing hash.
In my head the brick is when the hash have being pressed
