Unpressed hash is easy to serve and can always be pressed if needed. Pressed hash is very difficult to get back to powder, without adulteration. Peace GS

Dry Sifting Mendo420 Style
- Thread starter mendo420
- Start date
Skywalker OG sounds and looks great, the MazarXBB is really bringing sweetness to it, especially Mazar, it's the sweetest, frutiest herb I've tried.
Unpressed keif will come together over time, not overly hard or anything, it's like the resin wants to get pressed ;-P
My personal experience with dry sift is that if smoke unpressed, it a little harsher than the pressed-heated-pressed. And yeah, maybe it makes you loco (-; heard talks about some compounds converting into other compounds when heated+pressed....

AGREE... I think late 60's/early 70's shit was even better...
Pressing depends on how long it's going to be around.
When you press kief, the outside trichs are smashed and create an oxidized barrier that helps keep the inner hash fresh.
You won't find much 1-year aged kief and if you do... it's in an air-tight container and the container should be almost full. Otherwise it's not going to be nearly as good as if it has been pressed before storing.
Keep it Clean!

Fantastic thread!
Fantastic thread!
First and foremost, awesome sift Mendo
I love the fact ICMAG has a true appreciation for pressed hash + heat.
For me, the act of pressing is an enlightening experience in of itself; the aroma and color transformation during the process seems to create a spiritual bond with the resin.
I usually press a good portion of my runs, for a long term cure,I don't know what exactly is happening during the cure but the results are outstanding.
Thanks for sharing Mendo!

Pressed or unpressed?
When comparing a gram of pressed and a gram of unpressed from the same dry sifting session I've noticed that unpressed dry sift in a bowl smokes slightly cooler and burns more evenly with much less wastage than pressed sift which tends to smoke and smolder on and on strongly after inhaling (if there is still unburnt hash in the bowl*), while unpressed definitely does much less so.
*and of course, it's always wasteful to place more than one full lungful of hash in the bowl, but with unpressed hash you can do it with almost zero wastage, if you start with the flame barely licking one small part of the sift near the rim and inhale normally but gradually less until your inhale has diminished down to nothing by the time your lungs are full, this will make sure the bowl is almost out and will not smolder on wasting precious hash ...or use a pipe which has a lid that swivels around to close off the bowl and that too will stop the goodness smoldering away (eg a Jack Herer wooden pipe)

It is interesting that most old scholar will swear that the flowers and Hash of the old days was better, we can't be ALL delusive on the subject.

The art of hashish making is very old and has been perfected over thousands of years.
Logically pressing resin is something that you would avoid if you could if only for the amount of work it involves.
So the question is: Where our ancestors stupid enough to perfect a process that damage quality for thousands of years?????
