What are the differences people have experienced between using a Paddle vs a Machine vs a Drill?
What are your thoughts about yield and quality? What techniques are being used with a paddle , what techniques are being used with the machine, what techniques are being used with the drill? What micron series do you prefer/has given you your best results.
What is your favorite kind of paddle, machine and drill?
IMO I prefer the washers over a drill any day and as far as sop I feel I’ve consistently gotten a higher grade hash by not filling my work bag with ice just machine itself and a heavy focus on maintaining a 32*f water temperature.
I’ve used the same washing machine frenchy used to use, but mine broke after a few weeks.
It was the bubble-o-lator from milahhashqueen.
Either way, my theory on the difference in yield between a drill with paddle or a washing machine is that the only agitation in the machine is being done by the current of the water, instead of actually beating the plant into smaller bits.
Speed wise yea if u need to process into a ton of food/infusion grade.
For quality, hand wash > machine > drill
For yield/time ^ reversed
So check with your customers demands, and how ur team processes best.
Find a nice middle ground.
Now we just need a paddle/drill attachment that CAN’T break fresh frozen plant material into bits that can get into the final bags.
I made more bubble hash last night and I used 220um>73um>25um
So I had some dry ice left over from something else and I put the last ran 25 um on a piece of parchment on a pan on the dry ice for about 8 hours and then grinded it in my regular grinder put the hash on parchment and now its dried out completely after 4 hours on parchment after I grinded it … tastes good to me
