Oleskool830 wanted to know if it is a pain in the ass to press rosin, he has never. Told him in a pm I was making a bit for myslef right now, to take to “Critical Mass” ride tonight. He asked if I could show him how I do it. Grabbed the camera, here it is:
Thought this would be a good one to document…brand new Bud, 7 days on the hang, NEVER pressed it before, but Bud is covered and is potent. You NEVER know what your going to get. Some of my strains return 25 percent, some Bud I have pressed for other’s turned into an oily mess that was not recoverable. All Bud dependent IF you have your Press routine down . I have high hopes for this bud, lol.
So…grab the press, set on my table, lock down with 2 big C clamps. Turn it on, set my temps, from look of THIS Bud, and my smaller 1 ton press, I decided upon 233 degree’s. Go pick a small lil branch thats hanging, for the press. Cut up 1 piece of parchment paper, go to garage and get my “Hammer” . By the time I have trimmed the Bud, and got the paper ready, a plate in the freezer, the press is at temp…time gone by, 8 minutes.
Leaf was removed from the fresh Bud, and all the stem too, placed in center of paper.
Hammer is to "pre smash " the Bud into a “puck” 3 or 4 good wacks on a hard table with the paper folded over does just fine.
After the hammer, Bud is nice n flat
Press is at heat n ready, jaws open
