My Ogreberry definitely needed higher temps on the press ... She's greesy. Star Krunch is much the same consistency on the shorter cured buds. Longer cured seems much more firm.
Extraction NAGreengo's - Hard Pressed

I've done a couple of 15g runs of WTF with the new DIY press, but so far my yields are kinda low, like 0.8 or 0.9 grams. I tried 210°, 205°, and 195° so far with similar results. It looks like a lot of rosin is stuck in the filter cloth and the pucks. I'm pre-pressing 2x4 pucks, and wrapping them in 106 micron nylon. I'll try trimming off as much filter as possible next time.
Pre-Press rig:
I also had the parchment too tight in back and got a blowout. I had to wash the plates with alcohol.
The rosin sure smells good, way better than any of the commercial concentrates I've whiffed in the dispensaries. A li'l dab'll do me:

What temp did you use? I was going to ask you...........................My Ogreberry definitely needed higher temps on the press ... She's greesy. Star Krunch is much the same consistency on the shorter cured buds. Longer cured seems much more firm.
This press was at 172°
TM20 Ogreberry 2B rosin consistency is honey. It sticks to everything. I may press it at a bit more higher temp next time to try an firm it up.

After this, I brought it to 192° an I liked it there as it firmed it quite a bit.

Ripley's OG Rosin is crazy potent..... Have you ever seen legit purple Rosin?
Nice! That Night Owl Mango something I did, may be a colorful hash girl. She purples up a fair bit and it colored some of the trichs.
I need to run that in dry ice! 3 stuffed 1 gal bags.

I got some 2" tubing by Rosineer, 90 micron. I thought they meant 2" diameter, but it's 2" wide when flattened out, so only 1.25"
diameter when you open it up. So I had to find a 1.25" pre-press. Digging around in my basement I found a piece of 1.25" metal closet rod tubing and an old hickory shovel handle. I was able to cram 30g of WTF into a 4" sausage. Tied the ends with a constrictor knot in dental floss (un-waxed):
The sausage held up pretty well after 5 minute warmup at 185°, and 5 minutes max pressure:
Yield was 2.4g. Not counting a ball of rosin that shot into space while I was trying to get it unstuck off my spatula.
I'm saving pucks to press them again.

You ever try to use something from the fridge makes it come off easier. You can also use freezer usually that shit flakes tho. Shatters like I've. Your probably better making edibles off the pucks. I only press for minute and a half. Don't use bags just fat nugs you can use a garlic press with parchment to brick them
@Mara Cachafa maybe try smaller amounts in the bags and running multiple bags next to each other. Also standing the bags up will lose less to the bags
Here's how I do my bags in here

Extraction - Rosin Pressing
This thread is for basic rosin extraction. Please share your advise, kits, stories, successes and failures so we all can learn. There are a million ways to process and post process rosin, creating all sorts of wonderful things and the goal here is to share and learn :bighug:

Did you calculate what your effective material pressure was with whatever gage pressure it was?.......that's sorta backwards, but I hope ya understand what I'm asking.
