How long do you guys think trim is usable for kief? I have some bags that have been hanging around for a long time that I haven't done anything with yet.

I can answer that, as I had Whole Foods paper bags with trim that I kept for YEARS. Trim is really potent up to a year or so. After that, it just becomes weaker and tasteless quickly. I'm talking about trim not stored in any special way, just kinda sitting out...

Did not know that. I figured super dry trim would leave a lot of plant material in your kief.

I believe they recommend it to be dry, many use dry ice chunks to make it very dry and cold so that the trichomes break off clean and easy. It is all about how long you tumble, the shorter the time the better quality the kief to a point. I usually do 2 tumbles - I put the trim in the freezer then tumble it for about 20 mins for A grade kief (super blonde and pure to press and sell), then again for about an hour for B grade (still pretty good, but used for baking).

I did a run through a rosin press of five-year old trim for a friend, and it came out really dark. It wasn't too bad, a nice mellow high. Of course the taste was like smoking your grandma's perfume :spew:

I had a collection of trim where the oldest was about a year and half old, the freshest was two weeks old. A friend of mine does solvent-less extraction so I left it to him. Came home with over an ounce of hash that I pressed into temple balls. Wasn't the most terppy hash I've ever had, but it didn't have any 'old' taste to it. I just kept it in a paper bag with a couple silica packs that I replaced every few months, after drying out a fresh batch of trim I just added to the previous. My vac pump lost power after about 8 years of use, so instead of buying a new one I just paid my buddy $50, cost the same as I would have put into butane, without the labor.

He suggested I fresh freeze it next time. I may vacuum seal this harvests trim and toss it in the deep freeze until I've got an amount worthy of a run.
