Problems with buttering up, picture provided

Hash and Stuff Extraction
1

Hi im making shatter and im having problems just in the past few days. For some reason when i go to pour off from my honeypot there are all these chunks of wax coming with that ive never had before and its making my shatter turn to butter instead. Ive never had this problem before and it just started happening the other day. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I was thinking maybe there is moisture getting in there and thats why its chunking up but i honestly dont know what to do

It should be. Its the same exact material ive been running all year and all of a sudden it started doing this. I dont really know what you mean by same biomass

Thats why im saying nothing has changed. The material maybe could have more water in it but idk how it would since its all stored in the same place

Parchment the same ?
How about extraction temps Any change ?

When I moved up to Maine last year, I encountered the same thing. It was a moisture issue because of humidity. It was REALLY humid up this way last summer. I was able to remedy by doing everything in a more controlled temp environment. Hope this helps…keep us updated.

Everything is the same thats why im so confused. I use these beads to capture any moisture left in the solvent

No i have not dehydrated. Do you think they might have collected to much moisture in them? I change them out quite often

What kinda filtering are you using? And how fine is the material. Those smaller samples look like it has particulate in it.
