Afternoon dry sift session + press

Sifted some trim over my 150u that has been laying around and building up. Cured resin pressed and will be aged for 90 days minimum

Holy smokes friend that looks fricking awesome. That looks killer for just coming from trim. You triggered my cravings for good hash big time. I wish I had some now. Thanks for the post.

I try to only keep trim and small buds and eliminate any fan leaves from the process. 2 X 5 min runs and then a 10 minute run to finish it off. Need to get a tumbler soon, anyone have recommendations? I have used the bubble magic 150 g tumbler and it is great just limited on the amount of material you can run at a time. I would like to run closer to a lb. at a time.

Nice job @aqualungs . Can you give a summary of the steps you use?

This thread is very inspiring:

Hey midwestkid, i think there is a thread from Rembetis that shows a diy tumbler sifter. Could be mistaken though.

Nice cubes brother,
2X 5 min sifts and then a 10 minute sift per load on the screen of trim and small buds. First pass I use a card and then switch to my gloved hands for the 2nd and 3rd. Kind of a combination of tapping and massaging and tossing the material around a bit over the screen.

Collect it all towards the middle after each run. Pressed Frenchy Style with a 2 hot water bottles worked for 20-30 minutes. I find 30 minutes makes the sift pretty nice to work with but could maybe even take another 5-10 minutes with the bottle.

I tried rolling these in balls but the appearance was never smooth so I settled on cubes for these. I need to get a full screen set to clean the resin and get even nicer resin to press.

These are put away for 90 day age, wrapped in parchment and vacuum sealed. Put in the coldest room in my house.

Happy Saturday Everyone, smoke on!

Rembetis's DIY Dry sifting contraption

Ok guys, Here it is. I have been kicking this idea around in my head for awhile now. I didnt want to spend the cash on a tumbler and I had some ideas I wanted to try out. So this is what I came up with. I call it a paddle wheel sifter. It is a tumbler in a way but rather than tumble the...

My tumbler is a 55 gallon drum with a dogfood container with the 4 sides cutout and screen hot glued over the cutouts I can tumble a couple of pounds of material at a time.

Great skills I really want to try dry sift. Are you working at low temperatures?

Thanks No, this was done at room temperature. I am building a hash shed this summer for work next winter. I wash all my bubble on my patio during the Fall through Spring and try to work below 10C.

@aqualungs Could you recommend the screens I need, to do something like this?

This is was completed with just one 150u screen, see previous posts on method. I need a full set to clean up the resin afterwards. Google dry sift screens and a bunch should come up. I want a 150-120-45 or 73 screen set ideally but i have invested a lot in my bubble hash set up for hash rosin so that will be getting more attention my way.

I decided to make sift these days because it was too terrible out to do work on the patio. This winter has been bollocks, we are still getting snow this week.

Sorry, i mean , actual products I can buy.

I bought mine from a local shop, you will have to do some research as there are tons available through a google search. You want at least a 150-160u screen for your initial screen or if you are just running one screen like me. That is a good starting point, there is a thread on here with screen mesh conversion to micron sizes if the screen size isn’t given in microns. I am not going to recommend a certain brand or company as mine is literally a no name screen.

My bubble bags are bubblebag brand and same with the washing machines I use, for bubble hash I can stand behind the quality of Bubbleman’s products albeit a bit on the higher end of price range with a good variety of other brands available at this point which function the same.

Hash is an art which begins with quality starting material. Your technique will develop and hone on your own through processing material over time.

There is already a wealth of knowledge on this site which also has a search function.

For less than £5 I got the necessary screen to make dry sift.

Bucket of trim.

150 micron screen from ebay £4

There's enough for 4 screens it's a 1x1 mtr square.

Turn it upside down and shake it over a sheet of plastic.

Gather it up' enjoy!

I've since bought a sifter but I used the method above for the same results ±
