alright I m given it a go, Ive got this impossible to collect to die for goop here. I ll put 2 or 3 desiccant in a baby jar and test it. I cant imagine I ll notice a difference unless I wait many months... This will probably be consumed before then haha.
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.

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.

I made some c99 rosin. I like the buzz I get when I eat it.
I have been trying different filters and I still can't get it right.
Can I try a stainless steel filter? I have some screen left over from the few times I tried BHO. Not sure what micron it is but, probably close to what I need for pressing (50 -70u).
Any reason why I can't use stainless steel? If it's OK, what the ideal size?
Thanks

Sunfire's wrapping technique?
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

What temps are you using, sounds like it could be too hot. I go 220 for flower, 190 for hash. If your material isn't fresh it's going to be on the darker side.
220F is my goto. Sometimes 230F.
I press mostly flowers.
Most of my pot is a few months old, stored in mason jars at 55 -60RH

I’ve been putting my pucks in iso as a way to reclaim left over rosin.

Youtube has more detailed videos.
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.

Got my bags today and did a press today. Pressed some keif through rosin evolution bags. Pressed this at 250. And I think the contamination in the picture is from dropping the rosin on my dirty work table 
I also did another press and started at 200 rosin was lighter but yield was low. So I turned it up to 230 for the second press yield was much higher but rosin was a little darker.

ROZTEK, haha, thats pretty funny.
Why not try 210. 30 degrees is a huge jump.

when it gets darker its never as tasty. same as it was for bho. fresh bubba kush, amber and tasty. 4 weeks old, dark and overly dank flavored.
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.

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
