Martini Shaker Dry Ice Hash
Posted: Thu Dec 19, 2013 10:29 am
This is a guide showing how to make a small amount of hash in your kitchen (or anywhere else) in a short time. This is a perfect method if you have a small grow or access to fan leaf or trim or you just want to make a small amount. A lot of people think that it can be a project that couldn't possibly be done in their kitchen in little more than fifteen minutes or maybe they think you have to have top trim or bud, although you can use that if you have it. Whatever the reason, I decided to put a tutorial in here to show how easy it is for the everyday Joe/Jane.
I'm using these fan leaves I have from Blue Widow and OG Kush, about 7g each and got a return of about 2 grams. That may not seem a lot but remember that it's fan leaves. Not as much as the good stuff would give you but it's decent and the buzz is excellent. It really only takes a couple of hits to get a buzz. I was actually surprised but it is the same trichomes as the bud and it has the same effects.
Anyway, here's how easy it is to have some hash for smoking, tinctures and edibles.
These are the things you need to do this at your kitchen table.
Martini shaker-metal
110 mesh screen (I use silkscreen). Cut a square big enough to fit over the top of the shaker with enough left to secure it.
Glass dish or plate
Leather Gloves
Half ounce (up to you) of marijuana, whether fan leaves, trim or buds, grinding not necessary
Rubber band to hold the screen onto the shaker
1 lb dry ice
Half ounce of fan leaves.
Break the dry ice into pieces. Always use thick gloves to handle the ice. Cloth will stick to it. After adding a few pieces of dry ice into the shaker, load it with pot.
After filling the shaker with dry ice and marijuana, place the screen over the opening and secure it with a rubber band or a wire/plastic tie low enough that the top will fit over it. It will be very tight. After placing the top on the shaker, shake it upright for a couple of minutes. Then turn it over and shake it over the glass dish. Remember to use thick gloves so that your hands don't get frostbitten. The outside will be coated with ice. I like to keep the lid on for the first couple of minutes after I've turned it upside down. The early shake is the cleanest, with there being more plant material present with the continued shaking. The trics cake to the lid and the hash is more golden than later. I scrape it out easily and keep it separate from the rest. I don't know if it is better, but the taste and color are. You shake it over the glass dish with the lid off to collect the hash. You may need to hold on to the screen when shaking up and down so that it doesn't fall off and get waste plant material in it. Then just scrape it up with a card. I got a couple of grams from the dish and about a half gram from the lid. You can see that it's a lighter color. If you have a little herb press, you can press it into a pellet but otherwise it is fluffy and more like kief.
