This is how I wash trim for hash.
Any and all trim can be used. It is always best if the trim is fresh, and frozen just after chop.
I have a bag of buds that is quite frosty, but the taste of the herb is a bit less than desirable. I prefer to smoke buds over hash, and if I didn't have some very nice buds to smoke now, I would probably not wash down this sack. But I do, so I did...
First thing, get two bowls and run the water so it is nice and cold.
The bud is frozen, and I just break it up some.
Put the herb and some crushed ice in the bowl.
Different sized chunks works best, the larger ones can cause problems.
Add enough cold water to start mixing with an electric mixer.
You can substitute the mixer with a blender, but it tends to put more green in the finished product than the mixer does.
Mix it for a few minutes...add more chopped ice...mix some more.
Have a container ready and a tea strainer.
Pull out the larger ice chunks.
Keep putting the mix into the strainer, and washing it with cold water.
When you get it all washed, rinse the bowl and pour it in to.
The second bowl was to catch the washed trim. I wash this again, as there will always be more to get the second time. Third time is a waste.
Once you have all of the trim washed, put the container in the fridge for one hour. (30 min will work, but 1hr better)
Take the jug from the fridge very gently. DO NOT SWIRL IT.
Set it gently next to the sink.
There may be some veg matter floating that you can dab up with a kleenex.
Use a turkey baster and gently suck out the water.
Be very careful at the last inch, and take it down to about 1/4 inch of water.
Don't disturb the trics below.
OK, NOW swirl it a bit, but not much.
Carefully pour it out into a coffee filter. I like to put mine into a permanent filter to hold it up.
You can help the water drain a bit. Don't get anxious and tear the filter!
Put it in a paper towel and press most of the moisture out.
Don't let it dry out, as it will be harder to remove the polm. Do it right away wet.
You can flex the filter and the trics will fall out onto a paper plate.
Let this dry completely before pressing it.
Wanna smoke some now? Go for it..but it will be much nicer tasting once it is heated a bit and pressed.
