I haven't done a bho extraction in about a year or so. Now that I think about it though...I do have a few cans hangin' about and just saw the tube a few weeks ago... hmmmmm.....
A friend of mine made me a drum tumbler/kif seperator that is made from a 98 micron screen mounted inside a 5 gallon bucket. The bucket is then mounted on a rotisserre' skewer/motor (it's a Weber) and I made a stand for it to all sit upon...and used the large peice of glass barely visible in the photo below.
The pile shown weighs 46 grams and was sifted from 550 grams of guard leaves and small popcorn buds. Yum.
The other thing I've been trying is a bit of the bubble. I bought some silkscreen and rip stop and the better half sewed me up some bubble bags that fit into a 5 gallon bucket. I have experimented/read and experimented more...and have narrowed it down to the point that I feel i get a good return and a very nice product for the effort. (not that hard, I'm just whining for effect)
Fresh frozen trim works the best in this process, IMO. The second most important thing is COLD. I placxe a bucket of ice cubes/water in the freezer and let it sit for a good hour r until it *just* starts to freeze up...then I bash it all apart and agitate the water for a few minutes...and then pour it into the bucket with the frozen trim. I then agitate the ice/water for about 10 minutes...let it sit for 15 minutes...agaitate it again....then run it all through the bags. The COLDER the BETTER.
The top bag in my set up is a paint straining bag fron Home Depot (good place to start to get a bag set up). It collects the junk/unusable product and starts the process of straining it all out.
Each of the following bags collect smaller and smaller trich particles. My bags collect 110 micron...80 micron..and 60 micron trichomes. The 80 and 60 are the finest products. After I'm done scraping it all off the bags and pressing it to dry, I then wash the bags in the bucket of remaining water...and then let that sit overnight. In the AM I dip off most of the water...all but a few cups...then i strain that botom of the bucket stuff through a coffee filter. I use the 110 and the coffee filter "hash" (isn't pliable/won't press) for baking.
The stuff in the pics is the 60 and 80 micron bubble. It's pliable...and it's damn devestating and so very, very tasty.
cough, cough...
