I have tried em. Just wanted to see what some folks smarter than me thought. Thanks for the reply

it seems like youd run the risk of particles of plant material in the final product with chottle, no?

I press bud sometimes with no bag, use a small keif press for pre press. Not much gets into rosin. Just can't do big amount at once. Chottle about the same.

I never use bags. Just puck it up and press. U guys are burning money.

I dont use a pre press or bags. Food vacs work ina pinch if you do need to compress a large amount of flower, if you dont have a pre press mold.
From my winter of pressing the biggest takeaway ( for me) is that better results are achieved from pressing at low temps, low pressure. I see no benefit pressing as hard as I can, so I press twice. And bigger tonnage units are only needed if you're pressing larger amounts. Just my .02

Weird since I get a better yield when I use bags vs just pressing a puck. Reason is the bags keep the material from expanding, whereas a puck will just get flatter and flatter while it expands wider and wider.

Guys save your pressed pucks. I only press mine once, so i throw them into oil and make really really potent edibles.
I leave em in the mesh, it contains the weed and gives you clean oil. I decarb and infuse the pucks in one step. The mesh does not melt its heat resistant.

This is not just a hobby, but my business as well. I need 100% clean rosin, even a tiny bit of particulate is unacceptable

Couple recent presses. Just harvested a blueberry and chocolate. Pressed out really light. Pardon the dirty dab tool
5-6 month old outdoor blueberry and chocolate. Still really tasty

Just a question to post In the thread again are we saying oily rosin is due to ie: strain, to much pressure, a high room temp and press plate temp? Sometimes I think it’s the humidity of the bud in my opinion ive been pressing at 55-60% humidity in my curing jars. I’ve pressed a couple straines I’ve grown, but I get the most believe it or not from months cured stuff I buy.

Just from my own experience, I've pressed 4-5 different strains, the rosin texture or oiliness is strain dependent as well as how moist the bud is your pressing.

Haven’t pressed anything in over a year it seems, so I dusted off my press and pressed out an ounce of strawpicanna larf. Not sure on the yield, seemed kinda low but great stable consistency and starting to budder up now that it has sat over night.

So it is completely buddered up now after two days. I pressed this at 200f. This would be a good material for solventless thca separation.
Now it looks like this. I haven't whipped this or anything,:

you can squish hash into rosin also..Your thinking resin. Rosin is this oils from the flower when you apply pressure and heat

I like to use Dry Ice Kief made from trim and popcorn. I have a small cement mixer with a kief collector cone attachment. You put a couple of pounds of trim and a couple lbs of dry ice into the mixer and attach the kief collector over the mouth of the mixer and tumble for 3-4 min. The frozen Trichomes pass thru the screen and collect in the cone. Fill bags with it and squish...

Nice. What temp are you pressing at?
