Kif to Hash.... how to?

My friend has got all this leftover kif and we're wondering how we can turn that into some good hash. As easy as possible, but we're not lazy or cheap. Help would be wonderful. Thanks.

 

Just go ahead and smoke the keif.

 

I'd suggest that as well..

If you still want to turn it into hash get a pollen press. It kind of looks like a nitrous cracker, you put your kief in there and screw down a carbon cylinder which compresses it into nice little discs of hash.

 

^^^that would just compresses it into a little disc of keif. Hash isn't keif.


To make hash out of keif I think you have to heat it up until it feels kind of gummy, then compress it into a disc or a block. Im not sure if thats the most efficient way but thats one method.

 

Define hash then, it's just collected trichs. Bubble hash is made by extracting them in water/ice, no heat involved there.

 

id suggest wrapping it in cling-wrap and squishing it together for a while

 

Once again, I'd suggest smoking it like it is, but that's me.

 

Im talking about the 'resin' like hash, the brown blocks...your talking about keif...thats the terminology i've learned
Essentially they are the same thing tho...its all just THC.

 

yeh but they have asked for hash, and thats prolly th simplest way to do it

 

But making hash with it won't really increase the potency. It just seems like a waste of time to me.

 

lol welkl theres clearly a reason they want hash; unless they think turning it into hash WILL make it more potent.. then they prolly have a reason for wanting to make hash

 

It'a already hash.
If your trying to process it into an easier to handle form (like a chunk):

1) Wrap it TIGHTLY in paper and compress/melt it with a steam iron.

2) let it dry and cool COMPLETELY

3) unwrap

4) send a sample to me for inspection!

Geko has the best fucking ideas, now I feel like a moron. I was trying to press a few grams of kief together for easier transportation awhile back and went with the whole "pile a ton of books on top of it" route, which didn't go too well. An iron, who would have thought...

 

I tried this method yesterday... I had a ''wafer'' of kief pressed with a beer bottle , and did the iron method with it wrapped in foil, for 45 seconds, alterning on and off every 2 secs.. It changed color and smell, but was still very powdery! I though it would make sometn I could roll into a ball but nah...Not resinous enough! Not even sticky when heated!

We suspect that the trim we used to make the kief had already been used to make resin with some solvent (found in my gf's backyard, in a coke bottle hmm). It was dried but there was a perforation in the bottle. The stuff had absolutely no smell.

Could that be a reason for the unstickiness??

Starting to love makin it though

 

Yea best way is what geck said. You wrap it up and shit and heat til it starts becoming more squishy like putty and you press it while it's hot then let it chill.... works wonders.

 

I'm wondering if a straightening iron would work. I bought one from the Salvation Army a while ago for 50 cents brand new. Never used it, but it does work. I just thought I might need it someday (Packrat)

 

Ehh might get too hot unless you have the hash wrapped in turkey bag plastic (made to withstand temperatures around 500 i think)

 

your mistake was the aluminum foil and no steam.

it must be wraped in paper, or some other porus material. The iron must be filled with liquid and placed on the steam setting.

While the heat from the iron is melting the resins, the super-hot moisture from the steam seeps in, insuring a more uniform melting, and also keeping it from burning. some moisture content is nessacry for the chunk to retain it's integrity.

heating a hard chunk of hash in al foil is an excellent way to prepare it for smoking. The hash is dried out and loses it's cohesion- it falls apart (as well as burns better).

 

^^^^bad idea. you dont want moisture in yer product. moisture causes mildew and mold. ive been makin' a bunch of different kinds of hash this harvest. yer best bet for kief is this.


double bag small ammount of kief and tie it off so its airtight( dont throw too much in at once as you want to make sure it gets pressed the whole way through. you dont want a crumbly powdery middle)

dip bag in boiling water for 30 seconds
quickly quickly quickly place between two hardwood boards
C-clamp the boards together as tight as you can and with as many c clamps as you can
leave sit clamped for a half hour
the end result is super dense pressed hash that usually tastes like pixie stix to me.
it may take a few times to get the process down. its all trial and error till ya get it right. this is the easiest way that ive found. where im at (humbolt ca) no one really smokes pressed hash too much. its all ice hash and bubble hash up here. mmm bubble hash

~shine on~
