What did you accomplish today?

I made my first batch of bubble hash.
Ran it through the bags three times yesterday and quit because both cordless drill batteries were dead.
Then did a fourth run this morning, but it wasn't really worth the effort.
I was surprised to see so much come out of the 25 micron bag.
Is that normal?

Depends was your material dry? Did you let it soak? I usually have broken stalks and immature heads in 25 bag. Straight to edibles.

Looks dark.

Looks really over worked.
Material was grade C butter weed from last year that had been cured for a LONG time and recently frozen.
Soaked it 30 mins before the first run.
I used a rubber spatula in an attempt not to beat it up too bad, but may have gotten a bit overzealous on the last two runs. :roll:

Got any tips for a hash noob?

Get it as cold as possible. That's what makes the heads drop, not act of stirring itself. Light agitation is key in keeping foliage material from not contaminating your sieved heads.

A good soak for 30 min, then with most ice melted and cold as it'll get( home made it best as it has rounded edges) and a two minute light stir by hand or washer for full melt. Another 2 min wash will still result in very clean and that's where i stop and add the spent material to edible/ tincture.

I just think anything beyond that time ice washing is counter-productive to a clean product. Otherwise i just to dry ice sieve for quantity

I take my barrel off and the nipple out and make some hot soapy dish water. I scrup the barrel and nipple clean. I rinse and dry the best I can. I then put the barrel in the oven for a few minutes on warm to dry.

After liberally apply bore grease. I forget the name but the stuff in the yellow tube is best. Bear grease I think it is. Don't remember.

Mine is about 20 years old and looks like the day I built it.

Btw, I was never in the military but most of my family is/was. They taught me everything they learned from their time in (airforce, marines and navy). They told me at that time at my age it wasn't a good idea for me to sign up.(middle east shit going on) Kind of wish I did a bit, might have kept me out of trouble but they thought it might have gotten me in worse. I have the utmost respect for those that serve. Some of my good friends are older Vets.
Dude, the way you tend your land, husband your stock and love your fam are a service to mankind.

I started trading off some of my farm equipment for feed for the remainder of the cattle I have. I'll be out of "farming" in the next 2 years, there's no money left in it for the smaller guys like me. I have a couple pigs, lots of chickens and a couple beef cattle we're keeping for ourselves but I won't be raising to sell anymore as I've barely been breaking even the last few years. Our daughter is getting older so it'd be nice to be able to travel and take vacations without having to worry about the livestock, right now that's not an option. I'll always raise for myself because the end product is so much better. Just can't justify the work anymore for what we've been getting.

Ain't that the truth.

We used to raise beef to sell. We had the luxury of having lots of people let us cut hay off them. When it got to where we had to start leasing to cut hay it got to where it wasn't worth it anymore. Then fuel went up and it got to where it was cheaper just to buy hay from the big outfits.

Still raise it to eat. I love grass fed beef. Has a cleaner taste to me.

We raise hogs because I can't stand store bought slop fed hogs.

Happy animals taste better.

Pretty sure I've raised some longer than my pets and still ate them.

They're with me forever now.:-D
That's the way I feel about really hot girls. When they're so beautiful you just want to chop them into little pieces and put them inside of you. So mesmerizing you just have to digest her, you know what I mean? Uhhhh, If you don't I was just playing or whatnot, depending on your response that might have been one big joke. Yet to be determined!
