As much as I hate to say it, "It is what it is".
Comfort comes at a price.

Went with a higher seer unit, it's a little more but will make a difference in the electric bill.
I had to look up what the "seer" was all about (basically higher efficiency rating).
That term was not around when I was AC&R cert'd 20+ years ago.
It sounds like a very smart move on your part.

Time to make Z hash…
— edit —
Mostly trim so I’m running about 10 ounces.
kinda low on ice so only doing 2 washes. (15 & 30 mins)
Will probably rinse at least 3 times before using bags. This material was not clean for sure…

This was a learning experience.
I’ve never made hash during summer months - and don’t recommend it. Maybe if you started super early while it’s still cool outside.
And it’s way better to have extra ice rather than bare minimum.
Yield was shit because hash that’s not extremely cold will stick to everything. Bags, buckets, etc

I usually used about 15-20 pounds of ice in a 5 gallon bucket. Did it in summer because I didn't want to play with ice in the winter. I used a paint stirring wand on my drill.
Same here though I quickly figured out that my battery powered Makita didn't have the speed to really give the goop & ice a good thrashing so I switched to a 110v craftsman for much better yield.

I definitely fucked up by going with bare minimum supply of ice.
The extractions went fine until the 'slurry' went into buckets to let it settle. I didn't add ice to the rinse buckets, which was a HUGE mistake.
Gotta keep that shit ice cold at all times or the hash will stick to EVERYTHING. *
Lesson learned.
* - if you don't rinse the hash before filtering through bags, you'll have more trouble with bags getting clogged with debris, and the final product will contain lots of impurities. Just keep it cold...

I didn't work it too hard because I did that once and ended up with green hash instead of the yellow color. I have the three graduated bags to filter it with.

Rinsing before using mesh bags will get rid of the green stuff.
just gotta keep it ice cold at all times or this will happen:
This is the 220 bag!
I knew something was fucked up when I saw globs of hash in the 220. Couldn’t scrape it out. It’s fused to the mesh.
Let this be a lesson to others…

I try to go slow and I feel the less the better. Less plant material gets in it.
Alcohol will clean that up.

Yep, alcohol and hot water cleaned up the bags nicely.
My problem today was definitely temperature (and stupidity).
Once the water hits a certain temp, hash sticks to everything - even debris in the water.
So the next time I’m tempted to make hash in the summer, I’ll buy 3X the ice I think I will need.
maybe 4X.

Yeah you need it like we need heating systems here...It's not a luxury when it's that hot!! Hopefully you save a bunch in your electric bills!!

This month is going to suck because the old one was running all the time and not cooling.
Going from 13 to 16 SEER.
