There’s tons about on this site!
I would personally start with old school d420k or bubbleman videos on youtube, great starts.
You’re overthinking it @dan1…
All you’ve got to do is knock them off and size select through a (series of) screen(s).
The above was suggested two weeks ago.
Have you tried it?!?
Get a microscope (even an augmented cellphone) so you can see what you’re doing…and I recommend In House analytics of some flavor (TLC?) so you can actually measure both purity and how much you’re leaving behind
…then get at it!

@cyclopath . Thank you so much. Yea you are right, am overthinking. Just wondering why a client prefer KIEF over bubble hash. To me bubble hash is a quality product than KIEF. Was trying to convince a colleague of mine to invest in a bubble hash tech where we will be using ice/water extraction and my colleague insisting to go the KIEF way.

So then take a 200-220 bag and utilize that as a work bag. Put all your bio material inside of that bag. Then use 190 below that. This way you can make bulk faster and use static tek to clean your runs and purify the heads from one another with nice full melty type sift, or you can leave it alone and sift with which microns you’d like to stay ranged inbetween and dump the bag out that way. Either way it’s gonna take 5-15 minutes of sifting and most folks ain’t got that in them. So I wish you the best and can point in a direction that’s helpful of course

There could be a number of reasons a client may prefer (or think they prefer) kief over bubble.
Maybe their experience has been with low quality bubble hash - bubble that has been overworked, is full of contaminant, or wasn’t dried properly. Maybe the starting material wasn’t good.
Likewise, kief can have a wide range of qualities. If the kief was produced with a very light touch and wasn’t overworked it could be very high quality without much further cleaning (like the first bounce method produces).
Maybe they have plans to use the starting material in certain ways. With kief, you could do a gentle bounce and still have quality material that could be used in prerolls.
Or maybe they just prefer the taste. I personally prefer the taste of dry sift if made gently with minimal contamomation - but it yields lower than bubble.

Did you start at the top of: Dry Sift, Kief, Hash & Bubble??
True.
However, @dan1 mentions elsewhere that
so I’d tend to agree with @Autumn_Ridge_Hemp that in @dan1’s case
…but then you lose me:
Can you explain solvent based “kief” for the rest of the class please?!?
