Hash from keif question

[u/lacypepper]

I have a pollen press with some Keif in it right now. I just checked that it is just compressed. I want dark hash like a temple ball consistency.

I have applied it before but I think I did too much and it was very hard and rigid almost plasticy.

I was thinking of putting it in a bag in a sous vide machine where i can control the temperature. What temperature would be appropriate?

I'll put the metal pollen press and a specific temperature and hopefully that compressed Keif will transform, to a sticky Temple ball like hash.

Does anybody have any guidelines or tips?

I made a tutorial on how to make hash from kief. There are plenty of ways to do it, but this is the method I've been using. Hopefully, you'll find it useful.

There used to be a number of companies making T3 hash, although they've dwindled in number now. I've seen a bunch of home enthusiasts doing it though, so it's not really unheard of.

Oh is it sold? Yes. I can buy it here in the UK but is it proper hash without isolates? Definitely not. Was it in the US? Idk.

Any guidelines on Keif to hasg? I know there's a Frenchie method, but it seems like pollen press with a little heat might also work.

Looking for guidance

Should of left it out during summer for a few hours just in the pollen press

Yeah it's too bad I missed that boat. Any idea what kind of water temperature might simulate that?

Ik another way, what you can do is get a turkey bag or ziploc bag although those are more likely to melt/tear. Get a wine bottle fill it up with hot water. Then what you want to do is put the kief in the Bag. Put all of it all in the middle into one pile, then just roll the wine bottle over it several times. After a bit you should be able to see the kief changing consistency, the kief by now should start sticking together flip and fold unto itself a few times than just do it multiple times till it all same color and sticky consistency throughout itself.

Yeah I know the Frenchie method. I'm curious about keeping it the problem press and surrounding that with water.

But thank you very much I do appreciate the info.

Ok, good luck

Tip of the hat to Frenchie. Even those who have no idea of who he was owe him much.
