Still uncertain about the temps, and wondering if raising the temps/reducing press time is even worth it?
Nope, go the other way if anything.

thought the same thing recently...
I like to clean my dry sift befor pressing masos it melt faster so it gets out of the bag faster, less time on heat. Also you can use lower temps with sift that finger presses well.Any tips for pressing dry sift? I got some 25 micron bags on the way. Is a super clean dry sift the way to go or do the screens keep the rosin clean from contaminants? My trim is piling up so I figure the easiest way to knock out a lot would be to dry sift first. Open to other suggestions though.
Yeah, I agree.... what's Sunfire's wrapping technique?
As for my failures, for the most part, the filter always seems to absorb more rosin that I get on the parchment.
And, even when I collect what comes through the filter, it's not like what I see here. Nice light amber, pudding. It's black tar.... just like the stuff I get when I don't use a filter.
Other than the filter straining out the few and rare little hairs or other contaminates I occasionally get, it doesn't seem to do anything other than eat rosin. LOL

Likesay, colour is more indicative of freshness than anything. All my cream comes from no-cure. Anything cured and stored will come out darker. It's really only aesthetics, though I tend to get mostly budder from new material. Flavour probably changes but I am no judge there. Sap and the odd shatter-ish consistency from cured.
Made a real nice clear shatter once from a branch pegged to a wall. Knocked it off a plant accidentally about two weeks before it was done and forgot about it for monthes. Had such a pretty orange transparency.
ROZTEK, haha, thats pretty funny.
Why not try 210. 30 degrees is a huge jump.
something else must have happened, I think lower temps should always taste better.I will try going up by 5 degrees next time. Was in a hurry this time. I have a few keys of trim so have lots to play with . But I think the biggest problem using the low temp was the pressure I had. I use a hand clamp. Going to grab another to double it up.
My budddy that was taste testing the rosin actually said the stuff I pressed at 250 tasted better than the rosin that was pressed at 200.
