Jesus, it looks like you brought home a lot of the beach. You could make a kief castle. Do you freeze your dry trim before you tumble/sift it? How long do you sift for the A grade/first batch?
Dry Ice sift. I have a "Extraction Contraption". It's a stainless steel cone with a silkscreen over the face. It attaches to a cement mixer. You place your trim/popcorn in the mixer with 5lbs of dry ice and tumble for 2-3min for the best kief. The kief passes thru the screen and is captured in the cone. The kief you see on the mirror is when I buy an ice chest full of dry ice and just sit in the basement and make run after run. You know you have a good run when the cone frosts up from all the frozen kief that's falling into it...

That's amazing. Go big or Go Home. What micron size is your screen, and do you do a B batch after the 2-3 minutes A batch? Thanks, JJ...

Thanks tyler, you know me...lol They sell the screens in many micron sizes. I think that's a 110.
You could run a second pass but it starts to get dirty and I usually have so much trim to run I don't bother, although I know theres still trichs in there...

Awesome. I have a little pollen tumbler that can do about 1/2 pound at a time. I'm so behind on tumbling, I have 5 huge Whole Foods paper bags full of popcorn bud and frosty trim, some are over 2 years old. I never even thought about dry ice, derp. I always waited until it was below zero to freeze then tumble the trim. I bought a nice resin press a couple of years ago for a grand, but I've only used it a couple of times with poor results. I need practice. I finna get some dry ice and start a-tumblin'. Thanks for the info and inspiration...
