Extraction How do I make hash without too much hassle?

Looks good.

I make a bit of dry ice hash myself and turn it to oil I use a table top distilling unit from milehigh distillers in Colorado and the nice part is I get to reclaim alot of the ethyl alcohol I use to extract with.
The unit is Mr. Distiller, and you can just google it and it'll pop right up.

Hi @Todd I'd you can/have time and don't mind can u tell me more about your process for dry ice hash to oil ,I haven't
Been able to find good info on this process,so what I done is soak it in everclear,filter and heat purge,I posted the pic in the eth thread,this is the first time I done it and think there may be another/better way, cheers

I'd suggest trying to find an alternative to ethyl alcohol.
Here is a snippet from the msds

Co2 and heat are the only methods I use for extraction.

Good day all

I've read that before, and with the health issues involved I guess it would be personal choice as to use this method or not, but it is how hash oil has been made for a long time in the middle east.

All I did was add the everclear to the unpressed keif, strain it and evaporate the alcohol, but with the mr. distiller unit your able to reclaim the alcohol and reuse it, but there will still be trace amounts left in the oil which you'd have to remove/purge.
It's pretty basic and how its been done forever in hash producing countries.

I've not made any in quite some time, I usually just press the keif and smoke it....less work, and yes I'm lazy in that regard lol.

Hmm ,good info ,this is not the msds for food grade eth/everclear at 190 proof is it? I'm sure it has it's own set of potential risks,dang I been using the everclear/eth cause I thought it was a safe(r) alternative ,,,,I got a new flat iron ,so ill get back to rosin pressing( in my case,practicing ),thanks @Todd @Ronin ....and to think ,I used to drink everclear by the 1/5th

Yeah, so did I also in my younger years, and made moonshine also, but those days are long gone for me aside for a couple beers here and there.
