Looking for some knowledge on freeze drying post harvest for smokable flower.
- Freezeing my flowers evenly so all the water is a solid
- I then start to drop my pressure and increase my temp (no more than +16C)
When I pull the flower out I’m around 8-15% moisture reading (based on my weight going in & weight coming out calculations I’m getting about a 75% weight loss). and put the flower in cure tubes and stay around that moisture level.
- Im curious about not drying out the flower as much
- thinking about getting a 20% moisture reading. - then put on dry racks and let it cure for a few days. and slowly bring the last 10% moisture down “traditionally” (instead of pulling all the moisture out and drying the flower completely out and letting it rehydrate… do the opposite and pull it out of the freeze drying and let it dry out in the atmosphere)
anyone have any ideas?
