Hash making 101.. equipment -fire extinguisher!!!!! -safety glasses!!!!!!! -point and shoot inferred thermometer -pyrex dish 8x8, amazon ($16ea) -2 large oil slick pads -glass extraction tube local shop ($45ea) -coffee filters and rubber bands or SS hose clamps -power 5x butane, amazon ($30/case of 12) -oven -vaccum pump 1.5 cfm ac vac pump goes to -29inhg/14psi from amazon($90) I recomend a 2 stage but they cost more. -Vacuum gauge -dehydrator amazon -electric hot pans for float dishes and the griddle for the vacuum oven, amazon ($40ea) -vacuum chamber round pollystirine($90) or converted pressure canning pot. The temp you use from start to finish will determin the finishing state. these temps are different for everyone but they are close and are consistent for the vacuum purge method. Shatter is under 110 wax/erl around 120 honey/sap 160+ The different finishes for the vacuum purge method. -Shatter is the least activated and is usually made at temps under 100 but can be achieved up to 120. -Hard wax is slightly activated and is achieved at temps up to 140. -Honey is the purest and most activated and is achieved at temps up to 190. -Budder/hash/honey comb is not something I usually make as they are not stable and degrade fast. Also without expensive testing there is no way to know if there is butane or water in it. Temperature: All the temps are taken with a inferred thermometer and are surface temps. Also when using a griddle to warm a vacuum chamber or water bath realize the surface temp of the griddle is going to be higher than inside the chamber. Make regular checks on temp of the extraction being purged, slowly raising the heat, until it is stable where you want it. Also it is best to mark your dial on the griddle where certain temps are. Starting notes. Never blast onto anything other than pyrex. Parchment Paper and even the oil slick pads will deposit microscopic silicone particles into your extraction. I would avoid using PP for anything other than storage. There is a new material called the slick sheet intended for blasting right onto, and is Teflon based. I have not tried it but intend to.
