Finally got off my butt and took care of whats really important to remember in this life…to ‘hash out’ all that old rough material in the freezer! 
Removed the last ounces of the deep frozen SnowFire Isis Kush and Don Johnson buds from the freezer, gently crushed it all up real quick, a few ounces were still holding some moisture so I didn’t use them, next time! In total, I ended up using about three ounces of flower and trim, not sure what the final yeild of honey there will be but Im looking to find out…
I like to have my station all set up and ready to go, though I forgot to grab a ‘before’ photo so here is the aftermath…
About a half a bag of ice and some water, its really too simple when done right, but it should be said, its taken me about 5 or 6 total attempts at all of this to say that statement.
To start the direct process…Pour the crushed up frozen material in with the ice and water, all in the first largest mesh size bag and I use a kitchen gadget to mix it all up, probably like most folks do. Having a few extra buckets really helps with a few obvious things, some extra towels and a fat joint really get the work going right.
Now, I am going to try the dry ice method next time and Ive heard many, many times that dry ice is the WAY to go. Since this batch was infected with PM, I believed the water was important.
On that note, I have not had or experienced any known symptoms from the PM infected bud. I wouldnt blame anyone for questioning the sickness that Ive bitched about, though I was 100% getting sick from any potential cannabis use(if this is what the real issue is) way before I ingested any part of those particular plants. I actually believe it first happened from eating too much flower from a dispensary over a year and a half ago. My personal research has simply lead me to believe that powdery mildew is not a real danger to humans, but I still like to wash the flower as best as possible and so sifting for hash seemed the best way to go to consume this batch, and further pressing has totally relieved any lingering worries. I do not share any pm infected bud with anyone that is not also aware of the issue, I leave it up to them but I would never give it to anyone unknowingly. Just sayin. Ive got…some…scruples.
It took 5 runs to get what we were blessed with here…
Ive stopped using all of the different seven mesh bags as it is just alot of extra work and these days Ive further been pressing our material with a flat iron, 25 micron nylon rosin bags and parchment. So its all mostly being used the same way, I personally do like to see the differences in all the different grades recovered from the different micron sizes of bags. When pressing though, as long as you get your herb down to at least kief grade, youll have an easy time getting started with pressing. Man, I wish I had known how easy and productive this technique is, Im always hoping to learn some better, easier methods down the road(i have some ideas) but for now, this one works very well for personal use and doesnt cost a few hundred for a real press, more like 30 bucks for a simple hair flat iron, you just want to find one that has adjustable heat or doesn’t get as hot as mine does, I have to plug it in, let it warm up and then unplug, a little finesse gets it just right.
Once you get everything fluffed out, laid on some parchment paper, please place it all in the freezer for at least 24 hours to fully dry it out, dont let it air dry, even if you dont have alot, the material really does break down fast if left wet and will grow mold just like wet weed. Ive been fairly lucky but Ive heard some terrible horror stories from packing up still wet hash. So let it fully dry in the freezer before packing in containers(and I still keep mine frozen until use/press), if its frozen after a day or so, it still has water in it, you want it to be like sand.
Ok, most important suggestion on the ice hash…always, Always, ALWAYS…do one last run…this was from round six and seven, after I had put the lions share in the freezer, I added some more ice to the bag and did two more rinses and this is what we got…
Dang, I lied again, Music is the most important step of this entire process…
