Frenchy, have you ever tried using oil in your bottle instead of water?
Say heating some oil to 250f and then once poured into the bottle, and the bottle comes up to temperature, you have A 240f bottle that will stay in the 220f to 240f range?




just a thought. Maybe you have tried and determined that oil is not a good route?




cheers!


thanks much for all the knowledge you have shared!

Well actually I have never thought about oil, definitely something to try when I have my plastic figured out, higher temp and I would be melting my freezer bag.

I'm thinking of warming up two steel plates in an oven to 225, then using a 2 ton arbor press to sandwich the bag in between them. Hold for 5-10 minutes, then reheat plates while I fold it into a new ball to press. Repeat as necessary.

Forgive me if this is a bad idea, but what do you think about pressing between large sheets of parchment paper?

keep in mind i have no experience whatsoever with whether or not melted trichomes will stick to parchment, so this could very well be a bad idea.


Just a thought.

Happy pressing frenchy!

Hot Metal Plate at 225 + 2 ton press....you will have no control over a delicate type of operation and loose quality. If you are like me looking for quality above all else, stop thinking of short cut and more about control and precision.
Yes pressing is a long operation, a lot of work but that the price of quality. The processing of bigger quantity faster is always at the cost of quality.

It would not stick to the parchment but it would be hard to work with

An oven bag may be a good option. I think the goal here is to find something that'll work well without transferring petroleum chemicals to the heated oils. Food grade items are designed for this purpose. Plastics typically come in grades and food grade is what we should be looking for.

I think the Foodsaver boil bags are food-safe also. They are meant to be used for cooking food after all :)

Nice Frenchy, I'll take one, let us know how to get them.

I like the Frenchy Cannoli, and Decarb Frenchy Style because I like esoteric things that make others just won't get. IMO the coolest design would incorporate Frenchy Cannoli and 100% Ouh LA LA; like if "Frenchy Cannoli" replaced "content rated" on shirt 4. Just my $0.02

god damn theres a lot of knowledge in this thread!!

frenchy, you seen my hash..

what exactly do you think I should do with it? I was planning on ripping it into smaller chunks... freeze it, as well as my hand grinder, then I can grind it up/powderize it (similar to matt rizes micro plant technique... is that good or bad?) ive done this technique before and it works very good. tons of surface area to get rid of the moisture that is in my hash. not sure if it hurts the trichomes or the terpenes though.

but then what? I just really want to make the best of this hash, and keep it soft.

Hey! If you're the guy with the beginning of a mold problem in his "Nepalese Temple Balls" style Hash, I already mentioned a solution for you but I will use this opportunity to share some solution to mold.
In your specific case (would be awesome if you could show your pics here) there is a lot of humidity left in your pressed hash which is the source of your mold. In your case the mold is just starting to appear so that it does not affect yet taste and smell.
Break your hash as small and evenly as possible for it to dry for good, a week and more will be necessary depending on your specific weather, clean up any apparent mold very carefully as well.
Once it is dry, do a press with a bottle of hot water, do not hesitate to press you hash flat a few times, in your case 4 to 5 times minimum. Then cure it in a glass container for 3 to 5 weeks, breaking open once or twice a day.
See second video for details on pressing.
It is possible also to wash in water the mold from your hash when there is a lot of it, but you do not have this problem. I just wanted to mention it for future reference
