Hi there!
I just used some crumb it contained some seeds also so I decided to turn it to be hash for better experience. You can use normal buds as well.
So it is an easy way to make hash by the isopropyl alcohol extraction method.
Steps easily:
1. Place the isopropyl alcohol to the freezer at least 24 hours before you want to use it. Make sure that the isopropyl is more than 90%... the purest the better!
2. Grind your buds but not very fine just a bit because when you strain if it is too small it goes through the filter.
/No need tobl decarboxylate because it will be hash that you will smoke so unnecessary/
3. Put the grinded buds in the freezer as well for 24 hours. The reason is simple: Trichomes comes off the buds easier when the temperature is low so the extraction will be better and more successfull!!!!!
4. After 24 hours or more whatever prepare 2 jar and a filter it can be coffe filter, or cheese cloth or tea kettle (very fine).....
5. Take out the buds and the isopropyl from the freezer and straight start the next process to keep the low temperature as possible....:
Put the buds in the jar, after pour the isopropyl close the lid and start shaking as he'll for minimum of 30 seconds but I would say oke minute.
After strain it with the filter you will see brownish liquid.
6. To make sure you do the best use the buds again add isopropyl and shake it for 30 sec and filter again.
7. Try to find a good large surface better to be white and pour the liquid on it. The larger the surface is the evaporation is quicker. /i didn't have a chance just for a small plate so took longer for me but it is fine.
7. Leave it in a very well ventilated area for example garage or outside and the alcohol evaporates quickly. Do not stay with it in a closed room it gives you headache and very flammable so make sure nothing is close that can cause fire.
8. Finally you will see brown leftover that is the hash there you need to scrap it woth something. The easiest way if you heat it up with hair dryer or heater like I did lol.
Make the shape of your hash.
9. Enjoy!!!!!
@MountainMatt, Thank no worries! It is quick but yes do not grind it very fine mine was just basically this kind of crumb quality thats why I decided to make it but pretty nice especially it was not much at all. ;)
i do the same process, however I use a large paper towel as a filter before my metal filter, it filters out all of the plant matter and I am left with dabbing wax! I love it when I make hash like this, thanks for sharing!! π
Tried this, worked great, scrapped the gunk after it fully dried under a fan, rolled into a ball and tightened it in a press.
Forgot how much I like smoking hash.
@Nagzer, Etha ol is more food grade but iso just need to evaporate properly wait 24 hours. Well just cover the buds and shake it i am ot sure about the ratio og gm/ml
