Blender hash questions.

I'm wondering how this works. I just attempted it and wasted all my trim. Key things I noticed.

Settling never happened. (should I be waiting days not 1 hour?)

Water strained nice through the gold filter. (strained 5 times off this one)

Water did not strain well through paper filter. (3 oz of water 7 hours later no result, how does coffee strain through?)

So when I threw all my trim out and water I had the one paper filter. My question for this is how am I supposed to scrape any hash off? It was all dark green I tried to remove some with my fingers which didn't work at all then I tried to scrape with a razor and got green paper scrapings.

In my experience blender hash is not the way to go. Any help?

I think you are right blender hash is a no go.

The only thing I have seen used to mix to make hash are paint mixers.

Really?

Ckckck must be a troll. A sad imitation of a human being.

Never made the stuff before but I'd definitely stick with the Gold Filter in my own practice. In hind sight I think you know why the paper filter was a bad idea... Dunno what you can do about that other than smoke filter shavings with your hash. I guess you could try to ISO the stuff you get out of there and maybe the paper particulate will float to the top while the THC sits on the bottom... Then again... Maybe not...

With the gold filter all you'd need to do is use a spoon to scoop it off. Then, after you get the majority off, you can turn it upside down and tap the shit out of it. Then you can use a spray bottle held up close from the outside to spray off the excess. Leaves you with quite a bit more moisture to dry off... but that's one of the things about hash making everyone deals with.

Sorry to hear about this, but then again, thanks for saving me the trouble of doing the same thing some day.

Here's a few tips, I don't care what others say. Use dry trim. Use water and ice. Use a teabag for a filter the coffee filters suck.

And you must be a pussy since you have to attempt to insult someone you never met.

That aside, yeah I know the paper was a bad idea, I felt it was but I read 3 how to's on it that all said paper coffee filters in addition. Bubble hash will be my next attempt.

The method works fine imo, obviously bubble bags are superior though.

I usually leave the mixture to sit for a few hours or so before straining, it leaves a thick layer of yummy on the bottom,

If using paper filters (they work fine for me) just make sure to siphon off the vast majority of the water before you pour the mixture through (a tall thin container makes this easier)
That way there is less water to drain before the filter starts to clog

I leave the hash to dry on the paper filters, in my limited experience it seems a lot easier to seperate them once dry.

yeh using bubble bags is the way to go if you have enough trimmings,its very easy to make,and you've gotta love the stuff.

Blender, mixer, paint stirer, all the identical principal.

Once i've got my mixture of water and trichs, i just stick it in big glass jars for 6-12 hours and there is a very clear layer of trichs on the bottom of the jar, i then siphon the water off to within about a cm of the bottom, then siphon that off with a syringe until there's just a spot of water left, and then i unload all this onto a flat based plate, it'll dry overnight to a level where you can use a razor and scrape it all into a single piece.

Ice hash certainly isn't the easiest way of doing things though, bubble bags would make everything so much easier.

Ohh yea I have seen that method. It does seem to work from what I have seen.

Do you think it is a better method than bubble hash...tip top toker?

They are essentially one and the same method.

Ice hash/blender hash/gumby hash, it is simplt knocking the trichs off with ice, and then using gravity to seperate out so that you can then remove the water. With bubblebags it's pretty much the same, you knock your trim about in the work bag with ice, all of the water and trichs and such drain into the bucket. This bucket could then be let to settle and just siphone water off as you would with the blender hash. But instead you take the concoction and filter it through bags. Draining the water off using meshes rather than aquarium hose.

If you really look at it, you could almost say that blender and bubblebag are the identical thing, just one is more of a DIY job and one is a bit more professional. Both methods create a concoction of water and trichs using ice, and then if you use a coffee filter etc, you would be filtering the mixture exactly as you are with bubble bags. Bubble bags are of course designed for this job and as such, it is a pretty easy method, although i've yet to splash out on the bags myself, i certainly mean to once i have some spare cash.

Which ever method you use, it produces some killer stuff :)

blender hash works great. you are probably blending it for too long.
no more than ten seconds on high.
maybe you just can't do it.
someone who can't cook has a hard time making ramen noodles.
i make ounces and ounces of hash usung this method, though.

Personally I've never seen using coffee filters in hash making to be a good thing, the pours are too fine imo. Ideally a very fine metal strainer would have been better.

If you're going to get some bubble bags then right on, that method yields the best stuff.

In the meantime I'd stick with the iso hash method, it's super cheap and easy and it gives you a good feel for what it is your looking for. I recently turned all my male plants into hash using the iso hash method and got a big ol' chunk of goey goo that is curing up nicely. =)

thats why you use a gold coffee filter.
it's 125 micron mesh.
you use the paper coffee filter to remove the water.

thnx vm dude but regular butane will work tho right?
go to a tobacco shop.
find butane.
at least tripple filtered.
you can use ronsonol if you like...but it isn't the most desireable.
don't let this thread be the extent of your research.
educate yourself on the subject.
