Pipecarvers Pipes & things

I thought it was cheese cloth, but I'll have to rewatch when I'm finally ready to do it. I'm not sure if everyone does this but i think The following step of refreezing at the end, and then getting it to a powder by a sieve or microplane to do the final dry will eliminate any chance of mold contamination

Did you make any over the weekend or did something come up?

 

[Zen_seeker]

Wash 2, I'll do another wash tomorrow,. I'm out of Ice but I got as much off run 2 as run 1 so I'll do 3 maybe 4. I'll freeze my mash tonight then get ice and do it all over again.View attachment 114439

Looks a little messy. Also looks much greener than how I do it. What does the final product look like?

Don’t some use a paint mixer on a drill?

 

[Zen_seeker]

These are all different plants and a few different strains. All collected from either shaking in the trim bin like a gold pan or freezing and shaking.

The biggest one is new from the tumbler using old freezer trim in a sandwich bag from two harvests back. Much better than just shaking.

The darkest chunk is from Haunted Banana. The rest is either mixed or Strawberry Lemonade or Purple Diesel.

I read or saw a video where they said not to use high speed stirring tools and to go slowly. I just used a piece of dowel to stir. Ya mine is darker on the last micro filter than expected but I'll be mashing it all together anyways. I think I'll be able to recover quite a bit more today if my last wash is an indication of what's available. I still have a full bag to do, maybe next weekend if I can find a cheaper source of ice. I'll need 2 more bags today and 4 more for the next go at $5/bag at the closest local store is too much MFkers its just real cold water, shouldn't be $5/bag

Oh no they are still finishing lol, one still has some white pistols, but this is 100% the last week
Likely won't be able to do the washing for another few weeks, going to freeze them fresh in vacuum seal bags to let me get to it when i can.

Doing a big yearly hike this weekend, called old rag, around 1000 people go on the weekends, they limit the number for safety. They check a list to make sure everyone makes it down.
Then i have a big list of car upgrades to do Sunday i hope i have time to get to between homework.

Have parts to do the cold air intake and oil catch can, going to buy a bigger intercooler and down pipe this week on payday, and still have some more things on my list, like wet sanding the paint bubbles on the spoiler then wrapping it in vinyl, and maybe do the same vinyl on chrome trim. I love working on The car and getting bicycle rides in when i can

You know you can control the drill speed, but do what works for you. I just got tired of doing it manually. The rolling and actual making of the hash only takes a few minutes. It’s the kief collection that took forever for us.

My bad. Thought you meant you and Pipe were at the same stage and ready to go.

I just prefer dry collection over wet. Seems easier to use a tumbler and just roll a hot bottle over the kief.

I get my ice from the local bar this summer big bags 3 for 5 dollars

I tried that, but it stalls with too much weight to push or it goes too fast. I even made a spatula to fit in my 1/2" drill but ended up just using it & not the drill.

My weed mash was frozen almost solid this am so I broke it up by smashing it with the dowel as best I could then added another bag full of weed. its sitting as I roll another. With all the bashing I decided to work my mash and ice in the bucket without the bags, I'll pour through the bags after I'm finished most of the stirring then stir for a while before I collect the hash.

I never thought about that. When we ran the store in the summer 1 of the bars supplied us with Ice if I filled them myself at a much better price but the guy sold the bar to another guy and hes jacked up prices and tried to go fancy so we've avoided it the last few years. I could ask though. I went to another store this am $4/bag....bought 2 only 1 more small store close by I'll try them next if I need more.

I've already done that before, it was kinda cool!!

I'm going down another hole this time lol

No dry, no cure, and i can vacuum seal and freeze it for when I'm ready fits my zero free time schedule lol

I've made 6 washes through my Bubble bags and could probably do another but I'm done. After my 2nd wash I got the brainy Idea to freeze the mash overnight...so I did.....not such a good idea...it froze solid some didn't thaw until wash 5. I was bashing large chunks in my hand with my dowel. Now I have a lightly swollen left hand.

I made 2 washes with my first 2 bags of weed & 2 bags of ice then added another bag the next morning with my frozen block and 2 more bags of ice and did 2 washes. I didn't refreeze overnight. Next am I added 2 more bags of Ice and made 2 more washes. From what I got off my last run I know there's more to be had but I'm done. 6 washes is enough.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Is that all the hash collected on the screen? Maybe 7 grams once dry? Hard for me to judge by the pic.

You’re the first person I’ve seen do this method all the way through. Curious how much more you get compared to dry tumbling.

Other than the lotus method or on a paper bag on a heater I’m not sure how you can get rid of the excess moister. Make it one large piece like a chocolate bar and put it in a tub of rice like a wet cell phone?

Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

The way i saw to get rid of moisture is to then freeze the bubble hash, then break into powder the next day using a sieve or microplane, then dry it as powder

What was the yield on that??

Looks like the same bags i got , might chop tonight and freeze all the fresh stuff, did you do it all fresh or dried?

Looks like hard work for sure, thanks for posting pics!!

Ya dry as a powder at 54f and 35% in a dedicated drying room....lol...google recommended. ...like I can get that anywhere at any time. Next is a fridge in a pizza box for a week...without an odors....ya sure I can take our only fridge for a week.....not likely.....another option is a Mini Fridge with a freezer.....I'm looking , I found one in Halifax new in the box $100 if its still around tomorrow I can go get it. ......until then it stays frozen

Not all that bad to churn in 1-2 min intervals The dowel worked great, I'd have to reach in and grab the stuff on the bottom every once and a while as the small stuff floats down and Ice works its way up. Mix 10 -15 min then clean the bags and do it again. I used 3 buckets one to hold the mash after each run then 1, I could lift after the water ran through and work it in another clean bucket, catch the drips in and add them to the next bag.

No idea what yield is, I'll gather it all together and take a pic. All was well dried, 2 bags frozen one I added the next day was not frozen.

Yeah those drying temps are hard to get for sure

I'm wondering if this little wine chiller i have will do the trick, i think gets around those temps, but the low humidity part is hard to get for sure, wait another month and that will be the outside temp/humidity lol

I'm going out today and I'm going to try and make a deal on one of these small 3,2cu/ft fridges, asking $100...I'd like it for $75
And it has to fit in my hatchback somehow....should fit but they like to be standing upright...might be iffy...it'll tilt...lol

Mother fker was a no show, arranged to meet at his home 2:30 waited until 2:45 no one home. Went to Walmart, They have a new one for $100 but I couldn't tell if it has a freezer. I gotta do some googling, $100 new is a good deal...if it has a freezer.

Looks like it does have a freezer it said chiller on the box. I'll go get it tomorrow for $100 in store offer.

I hate fucks that pull that shit.

Glad you found one new with a warranty for same price!

Ya, I went out early and bought it. They only had 2 in the isle when we were there yesterday and I should have bought it then but I needed google to tell me it has a freezer and its not a lemon with inherent issues. I had to lay it almost flat to get it into my car and after reading the manual it says never tip over 45* or it may leak through the seals. I let it stand for the day before I turn it on tomorrow

Yes, and Ice for Margarita's....that's my drink of the day now. I'll run out later and get a couple of 12" clean pizza boxes....The show must go on... I had been looking used online and after the guy was not home mfker I thought fk it I'll buy new. Then we went to Walmart and they had this one marked down from $179 to $99. Its still for sale online at Walmart at $179 so I think I got a deal just when I was looking for one.

That’s like how I got my tumbler. Got lucky and good timing. She doesn’t charge me taxes if I pay cash too.

Wife and I like this. We used to blend it with ice but now skip the ice half the time.

Son won this at work last night. I’m thinking margarita station. Mix tequila and juice and pour in water to get filtered. Then just need a glass full of ice.

We use the Costco with filter kit, Change about once a month. Just for coffee really, I don't drink much water, lots of fruit and gallons of coffee. Our well water has manganese bits in it, it clogs our filters regularly, its why our washer went down. Its not harmful its like black sand we get floating through if we don't filter it out. Our water taste great, we're very lucky there's a lot of Iron, sulpher and arsenic locally, some taps pour out rusty water without expensive filter systems hooked up. We're down about 250 ft, waters always cold and fresh with sandy bits...lol

My sister used to live in our basement and had a Brita attachment on her kitchen sink. IDKW

I used to drink tap water but fell out of that habit. I’ll grab a bottle of water once in a while or to take in the car.

I used to drink a LOT of beer. Now it’s mostly tea and some coffee. Sometimes red grapefruit juice.

Having to get up at 1:30am and/or 3:30am to pee each night makes evening drinking risky.
