Juicer Hash

[burrr]

I made my first batch of hash today, used a juicer I picked up at a yard sale.
I followed some info I read here, only I used the juicer instead of a silk screen.
We ran our clippings in the blender for a minute with ice water, strained that through a course strainer, and ran that juice through the juicer. After cooling down again and settling, we had a frozen foam layer on top, green water, then the hash layer. The hash layer had a nice tan color, but still has a touch of green dusting that i could not sifon off w/o losing the good stuff w/ it.

So what do i do now?, just dry and smoke? does it need any cure period or heat treatment?

I think the holes in a juicer are too big to let just trics through. lots of plant material will also make it into the slurry. its probably a good first filter, but its gotta be a bitch to clean?


DIY bubble ice hash kit:
search for screen printing mesh. pick up a 160 mesh and 230 mesh one and youll be off to the races. add a 305 as the last step for even better quality.

20"x24" prestreched screens are available on ebay in many different mesh counts for under $25. the mesh itself is also available by itself there for ~ $12 for a 60"x 110" piece.

If you get frames, wash them with some liquid soap to remove any residual commercial degreaser they sometimes (seldom) have on them. -just to be safe.

The Juicer holes are very tiny, its a micro mesh filter and I bet its in the 150 to 200 range. the hash is more tan then green, so thats a good thing.

and for cleaning, we threw the parts in the dishwasher. they came out clean.

Well it sure looks good! your juicer must have way finer mesh than my un-machine-washable one.

once it drys a bit you can freeze it to get the last of the water out.

WOW!! how much bud to how much hash, bro!?!

Those bricks of hash came from 2 plants worth of bud trimmings, maybe 7oz of buds. We ended up with 15 grams of juicer hash.
I'll be making another batch in 2 to 3 weeks.
