Many guys don't use the zipper bag because the yield plummets when you do. I tried it for a few washes and then I tried it without. The machine requires dismantling to clean if you don't use it but the increase in yield is quite dramatic. So try it both ways . . .
I use a 5 gallon washer . . .
I'll dump it in for the second wash! Thanks so much!!!! Already gooey on the rotor.Many guys don't use the zipper bag because the yield plummets when you do.

Do you give it time to soak? This is fresh frozen. I have dried for after too.Many guys don't use the zipper bag because the yield plummets when you do.

A couple of things . . .
I let the material sit in ice water for at least 20 minutes before I fire it up.
I find that multiple short washes are better than one long wash. My first couple of washes are one minute ones.
Reclaim the cold water each time so you can reuse it for the next wash.

I would think that it would need less soaking since the trichs are already cold.
My sons ex-girlfriend’s father’s hangs his 5 gallon bags consecutively like this to drip
And one thing that Frenchy mentions but we all tend to forget . . . you want the agitated WATER to knock the trichs off - not the ice cubes.

No soak time with fresh frozen unlike dry bud. That’s what I have heard. I let dry bud soak for 20 minutes, never washed frozen.
I plan to soon.
Don’t be tracking snow 
inside of here please

That makes sense when you remember that ice water is just above 0C/32F so it is actually warming the frozen plant matter.
So you guys know how to do bubble hash and kief...I would love to have a good enough outdoor year to be able to make enough bubble hash to smoke for the year...365 grams. Wonder how much I would need to harvest. 365 grams is like 13 ounces of bubble hash. I'm in. I can't keep spending $600 a month on my kief. A gram a day. Bubble hash here is like $50 a gram.
You gotta go for it
... finding myself in a weird new position this year... my thinking is not for profit ... it’s for my head!
I hope the plants will love me more for this
If you went with fresh frozen and started with 8 pounds which would translate to approximately 18,000 fresh grams (about 39.5 lbs) and if you got an average of 2% back you would have 360 grams.
