i love smoking micro plastics
my whole lab is made out of plastic
i eat plastic instead of food
lol just say you use trash cans man, no need to go on the attack
if you want to buy a “solventless extraction system” with plastic components go for it. Free country and you can make all the trash can hash your heart desires.
I do and my hash is way better than anything you’ll make with a turnkey system.
Brute to be exact.
You need a huge lab to make good shit? Cute.
Not saying this gentleman’s system is bad, just saying your skills just aren’t there so you’re not in any position to give ‘advice’.
Prove me wrong. Put up or shut up. No words.
If you try to prove me wrong by whining a whole bunch it ain’t gonna do much here.
I don’t believe you actually have skills to make hash or any pics to prove it if you do so fuck it, i’m gonna go make a coffee and laugh some more at you.
I’m not mad that you use trash cans to make ingestible products
are you mad that some people use stainless?
I’m sure you are constantly putting your trash can under microscope and examine it for wear and replacing it frequenlty and aren’t just using the same beat up and scratched up can for years because its “good enough”.
there is a reason people use stainless to meet 3a requirements, I’m not here to judge you, enjoy your trash cans and don’t let it make you mad at others that want to do something different. I’m sure you are the best hash stirrer the world has ever seen.
A variety of non-metal materials are used as food
contact surfaces in specific applications of food
equipment (e.g., probes, gaskets, membranes). These
materials should meet the same sanitary design and
cleanability requirements as metals when used in
these applications as described in 3 A Sanitary
Standards and other standards. Non-metal surfaces, in
general, lack the corrosion resistance and durability
of metal surfaces, therefore, maintenance programs
should include frequent examination for wear and
deterioration under continued use, and replacement as
appropriate.
Weird no pictures. Guess you don’t know fuckin shit
I could be a Ukrainian refugee typing this from a burner phone and never have seen Marijuana a day in my life and it wouldn’t make anything I’ve said less valid
I didn’t make a statement saying “I make better hash than @SubstituteCreature”
you are sitting there talking smack like that’s what I said or even addressed you at all.
What I said was in response to a question from @SamboCreeck.com about my wish list of features and mine would have stainless 3a sanitary fabrication at the top of the list.
I don’t know why that was so triggering for you. I’d smoke your brute trash can hash rosin all day long, I have owned brute trash cans and plastic washers myself.
I have some hash rosin pics I posted in some thread, your pics look nicer.
None of that makes phthalates healthy to dab.
As an outsider (to the rosin space) looking in (serious when I say outsider, I don’t fuck with rosin really), I would choose stainless over plastic all day.
@SubstituteCreature this doesn’t mean your hash isn’t fire. Just leaves some room for improvement on the process end of things.
Just my 2 cents.
I actually hit a dab of rosin the other day that had me reconsider ever running crc or trim again
Is there a way to make some super fire easily while sacrificing yields?
I’ve got some gassy outdoor that I was hoping I could do an initial “fire” run at first with rosin.
Then just take all the press, grind it, and extract the remaining Terps and thc-a into a solvent based system.
Even just like a 20-30% efficient yield on the first step is fine.
I mean what would you consider a good pull off of fresh frozen? 7% is considered killer in rosin terms, but also consider the price difference. I really only work with fresh frozen to do anything you’d consider fire as cured alllllllways comes out pretty damn dark for me. That’s why the price has really been able to persist - yeah the yields aren’t amazing and it doesn’t look like that’s changing anytime soon
Hell, I’d he happy at 1-2% if I just make up the yields downstream.
My buddy has a $15k rosin press that’s not being used.
Just wondering if there’s something we can do with it, without much capital/labor intensity involved. While still commanding a high price.
If he has a freeze dryer and a room that can be relatively cold I’d say it’s doable!
The thing with rosin is that it really is high labor involved - plus Frenchy wasn’t lying when he said that making hash is an art. After doing it for years it’s a ‘roll with the punches’ type thing that I don’t have to think much about anymore that’s very hard to make it a set it and forget it type thing except now you have 3 steps to apply that sort of reactional thinking to - the wash, pressing (which has a lot of variables and has so much that can go wrong) and the post processing which in my opinion (read that in a Peggy Hill voice) is where the majority of the magic happens with your hash and the biggest key to unlocking that jet fuel fire!
7% is unicorn stuff. Highest i have hit so far is 6.3%. I’ve heard of yields as high as 8-9% but all word of mouth
I think those people are full of shit whenever I hear it, personally. It’s always come up from people who until just that conversation I had no clue they washed hash or pressed rosin! I always work my numbers to where if 4-4.5% isn’t at least paying your bills then it isn’t worth it but then again I don’t have a lot of overhead at all compared to most people since I like to work with the most basic of basics. Like granted if anyone has any documented crushers at 8-9% who can make jars who bleed terps like it got stabbed at an ATM robbery…I’m willing to give everything a try once 
Frenchy mentioned a couple strains which he had 7-8% pulls. I have to check my notes from his class and get those over to you. Might be worth while hunting through the specific strains he mentioned to try and find a keeper.
Harry palms also had a 7%er just cant remember the strain tho - pardon my shitty memory lol.
I totally agree
If youre growing and washing it yourself usually 3% works out we find. We have some profiles that are really unique but wash low.
Personally we use stainless and plastic. Plastic washers/equipment certainly have their place. With that being said, as we wash more, I want to create more and more items out of stainless to help assist the process. Not because plastic sucks though, just because stainless is the best and cleanest you can have. And when producing rosin at scale cleanliness and durability are at some of the highest priorities.
Stainless is better at conducting heat, which is important when cooling RO to wash in a timely fashion. Would be weird and hard to have a jacketed plastic washer.
30 gal Stainless steel brewing pot, $200. Replace thermometer with stainless steel plug to prevent bag tearing. Retaining coldness to use minimal amount of ice is why we use stainless steel over plastic 
As for yields, I do agree with people’s lack of clarity on there yield %. even when someone says there strain yields 5%, I highly doubt all of that 5% is 119u-90u. Even if I see just “90u” I question whether it could really be "219u-90u"and man, if it washes 8% then you better have 2x freeze dryers running. Unfortunately it doesn’t do much when a strain yields 8% FF but it takes 2x days to pull the moisture out because the patties are so damn thick (good problem, but still a problem).
I think the conversation on yield needs to switch from just a % people brag about to be more specific. If a strain is washing 5%, but less than 1% of that is a product that can be dabbed on your banger, that should be explicitly stated. Maybe a system that states your percentage of high grade, dab friendly product, and your percentage of food-grade. Does that make sense?
yield varies a ton strain to strain
to my best recollection @BananaBannabis tracks this and has a good selection of cuts that wash well
Spreadsheets for days! Haha
