Why would you need a freezer or dry ice to make bubble hash? Bubble hash is made with ice water, and they sell ice at every corner gas station. Yeah it looks a bit funny buying 10 bags of ice, but who cares. lol
What do you guys do with all your trim?

And if you need to cover for it buy 50 boxes of Sudafed heehee
For sure, another thing is clogging the screen with melty half-broken trichomes. Even bubble hash is something I reserve for making in late fall or even the middle of winter here in Canada, and I always do it outside on the deck in the backyard. The water out of the hose is sooo cold, it's great for Frenchy style spray rinsing to clean out the crap.

Try it out. Might be gentler on your stomach with the same effect.
Doesn't Frenchy's method focus on cold equipment and just enough ice to keep your water cold?
Really nice looking hash youve got there. Im about to pull the trigger on some 1 gallon boldt or bubbledude bags. Havent decided yet. I have the 5's but I want to make my own strain specific hash. What kind of press do you use?
Yes Frenchy does. And that's pretty much what I do. However I've even tried snow once (without ice) one winter, and I had to do like 10 runs of the bud because it was just too gentle on them. No green though. lol But in my experience, agitation and a bit of friction does help. I've had green in my last runs with lots of ice in the 45, but using his method of spraying the shit out of it made that last run as good as the first by washing that stuff out of the trichome heads.
Edit: Forgot to answer what press I use. lol
I'm using a 12 ton floor standing press I bought on sale from Princess Auto here in Canada for like $200, and then bought the 5" plates with temperature controllers from AliExpress from China. No complaints, except I have about 8 tons more power than I need. But I use the press for other practical purposes too, so it's just become part of my little workshop

I split between making infused butter & bubble hash.
Butter & oil are so flexible in application, so I really like it for edibles.
We like to add oil to pesto sauce, chimi churri, pancakes, on top of steaks - anything that calls for butter.
My Wife made an unreal potato dish recently - my butter has a bit of flavor to it that mixes well with the other herbs she used.

@Lockedin I make some of my bubble hash into infused butter or olive oil (more commonly). It's a bit dangerous in that the amount you use looks so small, so start slow and tiny of course. I decarboxylase it by flattening out the hash with rolling, and cook it on that baking paper stuff. It loses a lot of terpenes in the process, so you won't taste it too much if making gummies and such to the extant of using raw bud in my experience. Just be careful on the dosing, as the level of THC in good (edit: even badly made) bubble hash can easily exceed 60%. And it's not fluffy and big like bud.

I'm definitely going to do this next time I harvest in the winter, you guys have convinced me! I haven't grown in a decade, and even then I never tried making bubble hash just because I already had more kief than I could use, but now is a different story. This thread has motivated me.

I made rice krispie treats with infused coconut oil. Three of them had me fighting to stay awake. I lost the fight.

Gotta try that - trouble is I love smoking my hash!
We just finished the butter we made last month - way more potent than I thought it would be! lol
We found that a 1/4tsp was enough for friends (more than enough for one), a full tsp before bed made for great sleep!
The hash I made wound up smoking really nicely - 2 of the 3 balls were full melt. Still working through the 73u!
I'm 60 years old now, and I wish we knew about bubble hash making back in the 1970s. LOL

I may need to make some more bubble hash
I have tons of keif,but do like Frenchies video on the hash
I probably have a few lbs of trim and buds I could use
Fun fun fun

Sometimes I reveal myself to be the simple minded person I am unintentionally
I never even thought to simply increase the volume of material going into the mix. The wife always makes it for me, so it just didn't cross my mind to change the recipe. I've never processed such a large batch, but would like to do it just the way you suggest. What size pot do you reckon I'd need to simmer in? I only ask because I know I don't have one big enough for that much material and probably need to go buy one at wally world. I want to make sure I don't short change myself on capacity.

I believe those were a favorite of Timothy Leary
Problem is with the 73u is that it's more difficult to work with IMO. It's like the middle between pure rosin and hash, and can melt through your screen in a bong while bubbling and ends up in your water. That sucks! lol
I mix all my grades together for my bubble hash, not the 160 though! It ends up still soft and pliable, but will not all instantly melt through a single screen when you hold heat to it. If I want to do rosin, I'll press it and use it with my nail. Plus I don't like it when my previously round temple balls look like pancakes at room temperature. I want to duplicate old style black (well a bit more resinous lol) while still holding shape due to the versatility of the medium I guess. But that's just my preference. My balls still flatten out by themselves at room temperature though at bit, so not exactly the hash your grandparents (perhaps me) used to smoke as Afghan back then.

Our first BOMB outside grow this year. Slowly harvesting the branches as it gets colder and colder. Damn. They just get larger and huge each day we bring in more! Anyway... we plan to make bubble hash for the first time with trim. I've been drying it in a paper bag and then vacuum sealing it between wax paper. Once the harvest is done and the girls are curing, we'll pull it out and play with ice. PS... I am seeing a touch of pm and am washing every branch in soda water, h202 water, and two rinses then hang to dry but still easy to trim. I am excited to get some hash. I'm still and old hippy who remembers how expensive hash was and could never afford it.

Thank you for that awesome contribution Northwood. I plan to make a little bubble hash with some of my trim and I'm going to give the "temple balls" a whirl. I had no idea this thread was going to get so many interesting responses. I've only seen beautiful "temple balls" like that in my Ed Rosenthal book. That's just a beautiful thing.
