How much ice do i need......... - Hashish - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Harry Gypsna · 05-21-2005, 10:28 PM

Hi there boys n girls, Harry here

I bought myself some budget bubble hash bags on wednesday and am itching to try em out, i have all I need, I bought some bags that make ice cubes easyier than having loads of trays, anyway, my question is ..
How much ice do I need????
its a 5 gallon set, 3 bag, I have half a plastic carrier bag(supermarket/grocery bag depending on which side of the pond ur on!)
full of trim, and i dont mean everything off the plant, only the crystaly stuff that I trimmed from the buds...I have seen some people using everything, but I know the big non-crystally leaves can only bring contaminant so i havent saved it!
Please help, im dying to try it...

I will put a pic of the bags up as soon as the pic-posting facilities are up n running again....
so guys..How much Ice to use?? So far I frozen 10 of the ice cube bags, each has 24 average chunky sized cubes which makes 240 cubes in total so far... Is that enough?? should I double it.. i havent a clue. so all you hash-masters c'mon down and help me please
Im ready to go...
Oh yeah, one other thing...I know some people use drills and others say its bad...and a lot of people use cake mixers... and Wally duck uses a big fucking spoon to do it by hand... what is best?? I wondered about using an old fashioned hand powered mixer with the handle you turn?? Simply so I, a real stoner, dont have to hold an electrical item 3 inches above 5 gallons of water, ...

Right then, i await all the advice i know Im bound to get........
catch you later people
be lucky now
Harry

I'll go to the gas station or food mart and buy a couple of bags of ice... with the amount of trim you have, I'd say you'll use most of a full bag. Fun time br0ther!

Harry Gypsna · 05-21-2005, 10:37 PM

cheers mate...well, so far i have got 240 cubes frozen up...I cant find any to buy(we get enough if the bastard come winter-time anyway hehehe) thse ice cube bags that you fill up and freeze are quite cool things if you pardon the un-intentional pun.. each is a little larger and wider than a regular ice cube tray....so, like i say , i have 10 of these frozen so far, which makes 240 chunky cubes...should i keep going?? Id hate to do it without enough and waste my trim which ive been saving since xmas.
If i find any Ill just buy some and use a bag like u say, thanks Zep, and i will have fun, please believe, hehe
Be lucky mate

It sounds to me like you're right about at the correct amount.... how long you been makin' them cubes?? lol

zeppelindood · 05-21-2005, 10:42 PM

oh yeah... I use an old cake mixer for about 15 minutes or so... :smile:

Harry Gypsna · 05-21-2005, 11:15 PM

Well guys, this is great...im loving all this info coming in thick n fast,
ill freeze up a couple more just for good measure and get on it tomorrow....cant wait.
thanks Zep and DWW....
ive compared these ice cube bags with some trays, and figured out that 3 bags is the same as roughly 4 trays....if thats any use hehe. I gues i can just get a bag the size of the ones u buy ice in and keep going til the fuckers full, hhehe
Oh yeah Zep, 3 days mate, thats how long, lol
Be lucky people

dunno if this has been mentioned but freeze all the trim first it works so much better

its ok to use beaters , mixers and drills , but remember your trying only to break the trichomes free , not trying to pulp the weed ... i like a nice ratio of ice , must be making the ice smashing together noise , yes keep your trim frozen , and use nice cold water , i often keep my water in the freezer overnight ... cold cold cold ... youll know when theres too much ice as youll have trouble mixing ..... i will normally do a second run aswell , and add some more ice then , keep the first run to yourself and seperate from the second , it will be better quality ...

might just add that i found fresh frozen trim to retain the smells , tastes better than the dried will , the water turns a nice caramel colour , now thats what you r looking for ...
