So I finally got around to cleaning out my grinder a few minutes ago. I've had it for about 2 years now and have yet to clean it. It was starting to get to the point where it would stick when I would try to break up some bud so I figured it was about time.
What I did was took a sterile toothbrush and ran it across the bottom of the screen just to break it up a little bit. In the process of this alone I got about half a bowls worth, and when I opened the top everything was caked in kief. So I went to the bathroom and seeing as it's the one time my house doesn't have any plastic baggies laying around I decided I was just going to take my alcohol (91% ISO) and pour it straight into the grinder. There was a surprisingly small amount of leakage, but if you're trying this I'd recommend that you hold your grinder over the sink. Now, I just gripped it super tight and shook the shit out of it for about 5 minutes. Unscrewed the bottom over a glass plate and gently let it pour in there. It's currently sitting by the fan evaporating, I'll be sure to post how it goes. Is there a better method then the one I used? Was it a bad idea to pour the alcohol straight into the grinder?

Alright so it's all finished up. I ended up getting about a full bowl in the end... I'm estimating that it's somewhere around .5 g worth of kief. All in all it ended up taking me an hour and now I have a sparkly clean grinder and a full bowl of kief that is sure to last me at least a couple hours. See what a little hard work will get ya?

are you talking like oil to make edibles with? If that's the case I'm pretty sure you're not looking to use any kind of alcohol, I'd go with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) if I were you. Check out the 420 kitchen, they have a lot of info in there on making oil and butter.

hey guys. i was going to say you can use isopropyl alcohol to clean that grinder too. get the 99% isopropyl and you can just soak the grinder in it for a minute or 2. then evaporate it with a fan or a heating pad...it will take a few hours but you wont have to scrub for an hour.
isopropyl is also great for making hash oil (use the 99% only) just soak the buds in it for 30 seconds for the best oil or 10mins-1hour for more oil but of less quality
