Hello, I’m by no means a hash expert, but I read & read & had access to many different Hashish types in the 70-80-90s & currently. The previous post on black hash is interesting it was fairly common in Chicago/Boston & other major metro areas- the hash was hand rubbed as previously stated by the poster, but what happens after that is oxidation turning the now gooey mix of trychome wax & oil along wth some plant fiber into a compost pile of black joy...
So if u are lucky enough to have access to an abundance of live plants & much time by all means rub away...
Well I’m not sure when, but as I understand from some great articles, outsiders brought in panty hose, silk screens etc into other parts of the world & next thing u know old Jed isn’t getting his hands covered in black goo...
So what do I do ? I look at the science of bio composting & make Temple Balls, but not hand rubbed thank god.
I’ve called them Napalese Temple Balls, but I probably shouldn’t given all the hard work that the people of Napal put into their product...
So I turned to the science of ice water (Bubble Hash) making...
The removal of the trichomes “kief” @ 33.5f H2o creates a nice wet gooey pile of kief...
Hash made this way needs no heat it can be put onto parchment paper & after dried for two days rolled out with a large rolling pen then formed into a short fat log by rolling it up then putting it in your hands and beginning to compress and rolling it into a ball then let it sit for a while and re-roll again,again & again until your ball (use a hard plate if you want, but only after extensive hand warming/rolling the hand is about 95f from friction) is nice & shiny & compressed.
((So now it compost itself...
How??? “The transformation of loose resin glands into a resinous form brings out the fragrance of the flowers when breaking the membranes surrounding the resin heads and “locks” the fragrance and flavors into the Hashish, the terpenes are “bound”, for a better term, in the mass with the cannabinoids through the pressing process. The resinous mass is “corrosive”, meaning that it will gradually absorb the resin gland’s membranes and most microscopic vegetal matters in the first weeks of its transformation, resulting in a cleaner Hashish with a richer, more complex nose.” Source:The Lost Art of the Hashishin, Pressing, Curing, Aging
Well, now we have a temple ball ready for the cure, one year if u can stand it ( I wrap mine in parchment paper and place in canning jars store in a cool dark area like a basement) Notes:
Make sure keif is dry before rolling into a ball. I actually place my balls on parchment paper & covered with parchment-let sit out for several days cool dark place, before going into the jar for long term curing.
Two main reasons I like using ice water extraction are
Clean very little to no plant fiber in kief a purer product & some more science...
...
I believe that ice water resin glan extraction mimic’s the heat process per above via *wet hardening, as the wet trics form a very hard mass confining trapping terpenoids!
{*wet hardening—
Negative Pore Pressure , The pressure is zero when the trichome voids are filled with air, and is negative when the voids are partly filled with water (in which case surface-tension forces operate to achieve a suction effect and the shear strength of the trichomes is increased)} In other words ice water hash drys out semi hard like a sand castle. Keeping terpenoids trapped in the dry hard mass, which can be cut thin or frozen & shaved (like one of the previous post posted!) for hand rolling per my info above & then the temple ball process...!
For putting up with my long arse post
