I stir for 20 mins and I time it. 20 mins seems like forever stirring by hand. lol

I do roughly a 6 min stir but I do let everything sit for 10 min before starting , also will do 3 or 4 pulls depending on the return Iām getting .
Donāt mix in the bubble bags as it could tear up the bag mix in a pail then pour through the bags .

Ive been doing it the same bags for 20 years with no problems. Bubbleman brand bags.
Not that its a bad idea to do it that way.

just found post ! great info - might try it looks very easy ( use dry ice method now) do you press the hash ? look at a hydralic heated jack for hash pressing (best product I have seen) itās a bit expensive. Guess get the small pressing tubes (metal) and once pressed heat the tube to āsealā the kief . I luse 75, 160 and 220 for edibiles

12 grams I got from the small batch I did. Itās only a 10% return but I was just using trim and small popcorn.
This method is pretty good for personal stash, I thought about those little washing machines but if I would just get the same return Iām not going to waste the money and stick with this since it hasnāt failed me yet 
10 for smokable and 2 I will use to make a 1/2 cup of oil

I was on a forum with Frenchy and was amazed at what heā¦ and a few talented others were doing. Took me back to my days on Germany where all I could find was hash.
Anyway, I finally broke down and bought the bubble dude bags and mini machine. Been collecting trim for 2 years I guessā¦ this thread just might be enough motivation to get me off my ass and do a christmas run. In honor of Frenchyā¦
Great to the point directions @Oldjoints if used this method a time or two in the past. Great way to start experiencing bubbleā¦ thanks for taking the time.

This is a great thread @Oldjoints ! After drying for a few hours, why do you put it in the freezer until used? Iāve been doing your method pretty similarly for years, but have always dried it out for many days and then just stored in a cool dry place.

It keeps it fresher and helps retain the terp profile. Leaving it out also makes it hard and harder to use.
Once I take a chunk out I leave it in my cleaning box to smoke until I want another one.

A notable and informative Bubble Thread from a master of the craft, @JoeCrowe. This is how he makes his award winning hash.

Finally got around to making a batch of bubble hash. I got a 32 gal 8 bag set (rosin evolution)
I ended up mixing all the microns together besides the first one full of contaminants but might consider separating the grades in the future when Iām more comfortable with what Iām doing.
a few things really bothered me about making this batch. I have 2 garbage bins. One for the work bag to do the mixing and another with the remaining 7 bags to pour through after. My issue is that when the bin with the work bag is full of ice and water and weed it floats up from the bottom which I found insanely annoying. It made it near impossible to actually mix hard. I was worried about ripping a hole in the bag on my first batch with it so I had to be gentle. The bags donāt really sink down to the bottom or the sides. When I start mixing it I would start getting tangled in the bag and have to stop. I see people putting a second bin inside one with a hole in it but I donāt want to have to spend another 50 dollars on a brute if I donāt have to plus my bags are all mesh would kinda defeat the purpose.
Little on the dark side but some of my material is pretty old. I ended up just mixing all the grades besides the first shitty one together. Itās now sitting in the freezer to hopefully dry that way. Hope it doesnāt take too long smells nice and fruity. I did 2 washes. The second wash was barely worth the extra effort though got like 1/3 or less of the first run.
I suspect my ice to water ratio might be off and I might not be running enough weed in my bucket. I ran roughly 1-1.5 lb of trim and some scraggly nugs. I feel like with 32 gal I could be doing bigger batches but the floating bag situation really bothered me. No idea how much ice to put and how full to fill the water. I heard some places that the water current is what breaks off the trichs not necessarily being rough af with it but I feel like I could improve.
I also feel like some might get through the bags when I spray them with the hose before spooning it out. I also notice after pouring through the bags the water is still very dark/brown red and smell very goood. I tried putting this through the bags to be safe and got next to nothing so my guess is this is water +water soluble terpenes or something?
I hope to get an oz but hard to gauge with the moisture still. More would of course be better.

Donāt do the mixing in the workbag mix in your tub or pail then pour into the bags . Saves wrecking your work bag .
