You def want it dry, and def frozen. My suggestion which I got from Heads Up and I find it easier now for sure, use a bucket to mix up yer shwag in with the ice cubes and water. And yes, mix manually, then less green and shit in your hash, then I just pour through the bags. Then when finished return all the gunk back into the first bucket, liquid and mush, then mix up again and pour back through the bags. This means you can mix as much as you want at a time and it doesn't matter if you got small bubble-sacks (couldn't resist using the word sacks,) and they won't get damaged (I throw any fans leaves that I have as well, and small bits of twigs I collect from my buds over time, which are always loaded with trichs....
Anyway, apologies Westy, back to your cheese la.
this is kind of like i do things hehe,
defo saves the bags and once you have a pattern down pat worth the effort..
mine looks something like this...
stir...
slowly tilt & tip....
pull out bubblebag...
shake..
get missus to hold...
scrape product whilst she holds... i find its easier to get it all in the centre whilst its a bit wet still. and it beats shaking it to the centre/together by far..
get the missus to dip the bag and clean while i put the hash on cardboard..
move on to next bag..
once complete i get her to put the bags back in the bucket whilst i stir mash again.. a perfect cycle lol.
i proffer to get rid of the twigs and anything that i fee could caue a threat to the bags or the precious filters at the bottom. especially if you were to stir in the bag
couldnt tell ya willy im a noob to the whole thing ive done 2 runs and got not a lot to show for it i shouldnt think 7 oz of trim would be too much but i could be wrong?! is the trim wet or dry?
i did wet and wasnt impressed with the amount back next time im going to dry it then freeze it before i wizz it
i preffer dry material
umm the freezer before you start ive done a couple of times but not noticed much differance, i think a bit more in the first run when compared, as the resin glands are already cold and easily broken..
ive used a big bag of stuff that was left in the sun once.. the shit done nearly melted all my ice i had to buy more. i like using a fair bit of ice. i can stir slower and knock off more resin glands that way. so yes id say cooling it before you start helps. i normally let it sit for a few minutes before i stir anyway so as long as my starting material is cool i just use it..
a note willy.
before you pull the bags up let it sit and if seem a bit crouded to you do what i do just poke the matter with my rolling pin (stiring utensil
) making room for the loose resin glands trapped in the mash to fall before you start filtering.. though they will come through in the next batch so its up to you but like i said i like getting themost in each bag per run and i make sure to keep seperated because as the runs go on you will notice the differance. quite often i can go beyond the 3 or 4 filtering processes but to me its not worth it. you could have most of the best resin glands by then with little plant matter.
but yes my bucket quite often ends up crowded and this is how i feel happy that ive got all i can from each separate run
anyhoo thats enough shit dribbling for now.
