Do you guys think that using a twister t2 with a drytrimming blade is a good option for trimming or does it ruin the material ? I've had such mixed reviews I don't know what to do lol

Every trichome counts. Still a bunch more pulp from dryice to run bubble way hopefully tonight. Probably 5 times the amount that's on the pressing screen there still to go.

I've never pressed before but I want to start. I bought a hair strainer but the first couple squish attempt weren't very good. I need to convince the wife to let me buy a tshirt press. But then I also gotta convince her to let me get a dab rig and epen

With that much kief the rosin press would pay for itself and you would still profit, maybe more than just a little. With all that material I wouldn't pass up on the opportunity, rosin is hot shit right now. Let the wife know that you could make more money potentially, and would make way more money on every harvest from here on out. Also if you live near a large downtown area with a wholesale district you can pick up a nice rig for 45 bucks, a torch for 10 bucks, a quartz banger for 4 bucks, and a large rosin press for 30-50% less than retail.

Thanks rubes. All that kief except for whats in the the two canister lids came from fresh frozen trim. And the stuff in the canister lids I made from almost a full plant of swamp skunk.

Everyone need to order a 27 dollar set of bags and start shaking. I shake into a clear tote because when I watched videos on you tube everyone shaking onto a mirror look like they're losing so much off the sides. Everyone says not to shake for too long like 3-5 min but I think that's more for dry material. The fresh frozen I found takes a while longer so separate. I shook most runs for 20 minutes. i would have to shake for 5 minutes before anything even really started to collect. I did fairly small runs with lots of dry ice. Smaller runs take more time but I found it easier on the shoulders in the long run. * I also used a tote because you can put the lid on to keep out any contaminate in between runs and checking on the bag. Also when you set your bag down to check inside or switch the batch,make sure you have a clean surface to place your bag on. And brush off the bottom of your bag regardless before shaking into your tote. It's a real piss off when you go to start shaking and some pieces of leaf fall into you beautiful kief also don't do this with a joint between your lips you will end up with ash in your kief for sure!. Make sure you cinch drawstring on bags and I like to give the bag a twist or two to grip. Also you will develop a large collection of hash on the inside of you bag. You can clean it off between batches or just leave it until your all done and clean off at the end but it's still nice product especially if you sift it a bit after.
Hope these few tips help anyone getting ready to shake. @mr sunshine here's a little more in depth of what I did.

Right on BC! One thing I do with large batches that might help is shake it with the dry ice in a five gallon bucket, then tranfer to a tub (18 gallon tote), pick out the dry ice and return it to the 5 gal bucket...repeat. I do this until I run all the material. Then I do small batches out of the tub in my bubble bag...I use the 160 micron...with a few golf balls and shake the hell out of it into a big tote. Takes a couple hours lol...getting JJ's set up soon with the cement mixer
