Can you make dry ice hash with fresh frozen material or do I have to dry and cure it first? If so do I have to dry the dry ice hash when using fresh frozen? Can i dry it in my fridge?

i misread.. dry-ice is a bit different.. gonna get a ton of green hash / ton of contamination. ice-water hash is the better way to go but takes longer.

Important to correct some misinformation. This is a sieve not a solvent extraction. Therefore anything that dissolves into water is not part of your hash production. No worries on that. The hash is hydrophobic, so the water is not 'mixing' witht he hash, and any hydrophyllic dissolved bits, like sugars or chlorophyl, is irrelevant. You can get chlorophyl contamination other ways due to aggressively beating up the material -- stirring to aggressively, stiring with a sharp object that tears up the material or even jagged ice -- buy the ice packs with smooth edges etc. You'll have a green tint to the hash if you fck this up, so it's not a guessing game. again, don't have to dry or cure. Everything that goes into ice hash is from the surface of the plant materisl. It is not dissolving anything - that's why it is called a solventless extraction. Youtube search terms - "Frenchy hash" Find the ~2 hour video with him standing in a warehouse with a custum built 'washer' and one of those blue, generic RV mini washers. He goes over every important aspect. Some things are more worthwhile to follow exactly than others, but that will be about your personal prefence. e.g. always fully saturate, don't get creative about that, but how many sieve bags you use is going to be something you have to 'hash out' to find your preference. pun intended. just in case the family tries to put up a pay wall on this information, I downladed the video a long time ago, but need to re-encode to a smaller file size for the free download sites. i'll post it here later.

fresh frozen is the best way to do it for sure. "Frenchy" knew best. No, do not dry it. Overly dry buds just take longer to soak up the ice water. Make sure all the plant material is fully sautrated before stirring. You don't want to beat up the material. Everything good that goes into ice hash is on the surface. Breaking it up will only cause contamination, like green hash. Buy the smoothly shaped ice not the stuff with jagged edges. Most of the ice should be melted when it spins. Ice is only to maintain temperature. It is not there to beat up the plant material. that is a negative. in fact, doing it in freezing weather with no ice would be optimum, if possible... Just let the water sit out there until it approaches freezing. If you ahve a washing machine, have 2 batches of cold water ready. Once you dump the machine into sieve buckets, get the next cycle spinning ASAP, then scrape. This will save you about 40-45% of total time invested.

Iseing fresh frozen is the best way todo it. It seems temping to use it something like a power drill to spin everything but honestly just use a wooden spool and spin strongly. When you use a power drill or something the buds get broken down to much and makes all the hash green

Hi yes, you can make dry ice hash using fresh frozen material. This method preserves the terpenes and cannabinoids, giving you a flavorful and potent product. However, when using fresh frozen material, the resulting hash will contain moisture, so it’s essential to dry it properly to prevent mold and ensure quality.After that you have to dry the hash Drying the hash in your fridge is possible, but it requires careful handling. Place the hash on parchment paper in a breathable container to allow moisture to escape. Keep the fridge at a consistent temperature (around 32-40°F or 0-4°C) and check periodically to ensure even drying. This process can take 1-2 weeks. Alternatively, a freeze dryer is a faster and more efficient option if available.

Mmmm yes to dry and no to cure. You're going to want the moisture content to be lower than fresh flower. Know that terpenes and chlorophyll can both become water soluble during bubble hash runs, which is more of an issue with fresh flower. Although you won't be using water, IME, dry ice aided sifting is even more finnicky with getting grade A (more rough, more risk of chlorophyll, etc.). For my hash I usually do dry sift off the dry trim I do a day or two before the dry phase is over. I'll take those sugar leaves and freeze them overnight then beat them them then sift. Steady get a better 93 mic from this than from bubble bags, with about 10% the effort and 1% the mess/time. You can always do cured hash (or cured then any type of extractions/separation) if desired. Know that the flavor profile of the cured will be distinct form the fresh. Like with any extraction or separation, any steps you can do to put the best product in/reduce unwanted inputs is going to benefit you. Even if it was sound to throw the fresh flower right into a dry ice sift, the majority of your trichs are gonna be 'smear' level moist, until you've had sufficient contact with the dry ice. Why not just dry before hand and begin with trich heads appropriate for the sifting.

you can make bubble hash out of fresh/fresh frozen/dried cured weed. The main thing is to let it hydrate or your hash will have a lot of green in it. Dry Ice Hash is somewhat similar if I remember correctly, no water just dry ice and bubble bags. Their is a guy on you tube who is the grandfather of hash making. Frenchy Cannoli (RIP) and he has a system that's locked in and done well. watch some of his shit. One of his videos is about 1-2hrs long and goes over a lot. Maybe he has a clip on dry ice hash. Curing would give more flavour but its not 100% needed. I would not dry in a fridge might absorbe other smells from it.

Harvest, spray with dry ice, trichomes fall off crystallized, no chlorophyll to degrade so no you don't need dry first. Will still need to dry buds thay you froze if you pla on smoking it.
