[Strudel]

Hello everybody,one simple opinion please.i use to make sometimes hash extracting kiff with a cylindric sieve from little resin leaves growing around the buds and also small buds to little to spend time to clean it....

And from now nothing strange...but sometimes i got a good amount of kiff and sometimes very little ...at the same condition..

Is it true as i think that if you put this material you are gonna use in freezer before shake it in the cylindric sieve( i use a polen maker that you can find in ebay...) in my opinion must be TRULY DRY as i notice if is not very dry can create a bit of humidity inside the polen maker and the resin do not fall down from leaves ...

And is everytime ok to put this plant 's material for the kiff inside the freezer? Before putting it inside the sieve?

should i use only very dry leaves for making kiff if i decide to put it before in freezer?

Why i couldn't extract anything ...and other time a lot ? Can be just something connected with the dryiness of the leaves i was using.

What do you think american friends?

The freezer makes the gland more brittle, enabling it to fall from plant material more readily and prevents it from rupturing while you are performing the separation. The drier the better as the name dry sift implies. I have been experimenting with leaving a little bit of moisture in the leaves before freezing. I may get a cleaner product, with slightly less yield.

dry as possible will give you the best yield, you could also try putting the sieve in the freezer before using it so you have cold sieve and cold material to help with the contact of material on a cold surface rather than warm.

In the past I have bought Stainless Mesh from TWP Inc.

It's pricey, about $6 per square foot, but it's lab grade and it comes in

REAL handy.


+ I can use the scraps to make new pipe screens.

You will always get some condensation in the freezer but an easy way to help is to wrap it up in a towel, takes a little longer to get cold and brittle.

towel? seal it airtight with bag of salt/rice in the container, cold n dry!

There is a walk in freezer in my dreams.

Nice one with the rice and salt !
