  1. Crafting Ice Water Hash, Freeze Drying, and Pressing Live Rosin: A Chronnoisseur’s Guide

Welcome to The Chronnoisseur, your gateway to elevated cannabis experiences. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of creating top-tier ice water hash, freeze-drying the extracted trichomes, and pressing them into exquisite live rosin. These techniques preserve the plant’s essence, ensuring a concentrate with rich flavor profiles and potent effects.

Materials Needed:

  1. High-quality cannabis flower or trim
  2. Ice
  3. Water
  4. Bubble bags (multiple micron sizes)
  5. Wooden spoon or stirring tool
  6. Bucket or washing machine
  7. Parchment paper
  8. Pollen press or rosin press
  9. Rosin filter bags (optional)
  10. Heat-resistant gloves
  11. Dabbing tool
  12. Rosin press plates (if using a rosin press)
  13. Freeze dryer

Procedure:

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a clean and organized workspace with all necessary materials within reach. Ensure proper ventilation for safety during the pressing phase.
  2. Making Ice Water Hash: a. Start with well-dried and cured cannabis flower or trim. b. Place your cannabis in a bucket or washing machine. c. Add ice and water, creating a slurry to facilitate the separation of trichomes. d. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or stirring tool for 15-20 minutes. e. Use bubble bags to filter the mixture, starting with the larger micron size and progressing to the smaller sizes. f. Collect the extracted trichomes in the bags.
  3. Freeze Drying the Bubble Hash: a. Lay out the collected bubble hash on parchment paper. b. Transfer the parchment paper to a freeze dryer, ensuring even spacing between hash piles. c. Follow the freeze dryer’s instructions for the recommended duration to remove residual moisture from the bubble hash. d. Once freeze-dried, store the hash in a cool, dark place for future use.
  4. Pressing Live Rosin: a. Gather a portion of your freeze-dried bubble hash and place it between parchment paper. b. For added filtration, use a rosin filter bag and place the hash inside. c. Preheat your pollen press or rosin press to the recommended temperature (usually between 160-220°F or 71-104°C). d. Place the parchment paper with the hash inside the press plates. e. Press the material gently, gradually increasing pressure until you see the live rosin extract on the parchment paper. f. Collect the rosin using a dabbing tool.
  5. Storage and Enjoyment: a. Store your live rosin in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. b. When ready to enjoy, use a dab rig or vaporizer for a pure and flavorful experience.

Tips:

  • Experiment with different micron sizes for bubble bags to achieve varied profiles of ice water hash.
  • Monitor pressing temperatures to preserve terpenes and cannabinoids.
  • Utilize freeze drying to enhance the consistency and shelf life of your bubble hash.
