Sweet, great tip thanks. I know it’s weird but I want a classic, mellow black hash as opposed to a ‘concentrate’. Maybe I’ll even break out the hot knives lol

That’s a good question. I like where you’re going with this. I hadn’t thought about that before, but with a makeshift seed cleaner, would be a super easy way to get seeds out. Maybe I’ll try just putting some seeds on dry ice next time I buy it and see if it affects them.

Well tomorrow is our shipment of frozen if’s if I remember to bring some blocks home maybe I’ll try it! IIRC dry ice is like over -100 F damn cold that’s why I’d thought it might Jack em good source of water cooling for bubble water temp in a hurry if I decide to go that route .
… Do Not do that… rapid solid to gas change, aka it can explode pressure and what not, look up dry ice bombs

Don’t drop big blocks of dry ice into water (smaller pieces not so much)…they do explode. We use it at work to cool metal parts before fitment and we regularly screw around with it when we’re done with it. It’s industrial use dry ice so I wouldn’t mess with it for processing something to be smoked.

I believe @ReikoX was mentioning something similar about DI isn’t dry ice just dry ice? It’s all made the same right? How can I tell? I’ll take pics today and see if I can gather some info on it .

@Tinytuttle there is food grade dry ice and industrial grade,. I’ve had the misfortune of spending a few decades in kitchens and half dozen years ago career changed to working in a machine shop…most bigger city’s will have food grade, but you have to ask…if they don’t know, it isn’t…the quality/source of the CO2 used must be the same as the type used to carbonate soda

The only thing I know at this point is that there small blocks packaged in cardboard used to keep Frozen antibiotics frozen upon transport to the facility.

I’d have a tendency to be leaning to the food grade quality DI being that there has to be some sort of cleanliness associated with high dollar items their packed in.

@Tinytuttle the FDA would prob require antibiotics to be packaged in food grade or better…I’d gamble it was safe.

The timing of the thread update is uncanny…just drooped at work 300# of food grade dry ice…supplier was out of the other… bringing in a cooler tomorrow so I can make the 50 mile commute home with a little, I only have a few ounces of popcorn and trim.

I haven’t seen the shipment today yet hopefully didn’t miss it
Next week held off on shipment this week 
Started with about 2 ounces of nice sugar trim and popcorn. Yielded 1.96g of this in a 160 bubblebag and 2 light 10 second shakes, added a little to a couple doobies last night, but the is in parchment to be pressed into a small bar and aged.
Some agressive shaking yielded me about 6grams of this which will be dried more and put into a jar for either extraction or edibles. I’ve never tried this method but I can see it def. works well, I did it on the fly with only about a 6x6 space to work with …rolled out a 6x6 square of butcher paper overlapped and shook over that. Halloween Eve with a 9 , 11 y/o and a grandson isn’t the day to try a new extraction method.

I just bought a 4 bag kit. The larger is 220 then to 120 (no 160). I ran my whole harvest of 2 CBD plants. First did the 220. Then the 120. Then ran the leftover through the 120 again. Came out with 3 different grades. Bought the dry ice at the local supermarket - super cheap. I think I may have over did the shaking a bit and had more plant material come through that desired, but I am pretty happy. I took the advice of someone else who said to get the bags that are all mesh and that was good. Dint get the bags with canvas sides. Ran some through this $15 press I just bought.

One thing you can do to help is to take cuts of material and separate it until the end. Just stop shaking periodically and scrape off into a pile and then shake some more.
It’ll be pretty clear when to stop, because you’ll eventually get piles that have a green tint to them. Use the greener piles wherever you don’t need highest quality (brownies or something that would mask the flavor anyway).
