Lets make some bricks

Hash is made from the dried resin of the cannabis plant. The substance is formed when the trichomes (generally referred to as keif) are separated from the plant. We’re going to give a short description on the methods of making hash.

Hand rolling is the easiest if not most archaic of the methods. Basically after handling enough cannabis a black layer will form on your hands. This is ‘kief’, and once enough has gathered you can rub your hands together and it will form spheres of hash.

Dry sifting is the next method which is also relatively easy, all you need is a silk screen. Place your cannabis in the freezer to ensure a nice separation of the trichomes from the plant matter. Place the silk screen over a surface to catch the ‘kief’. Gently rub the bud on the screen. This will separate the ‘kief’ from the bud which will collect on the surface below.

The next method will require a silk screen and a blender. Place your cannabis in a blender and pour water until it is covered. Add ice and blend! Do this for bout a minute before draining the mixture into a jar through a silk screen. Let this sit for 20-30 minutes and you will see the ‘kief’ settling at the bottom. Pour out 2/3 of the water, taking care to not pour out the kief. Fill the jar with ice water wait 5 minutes and then pour out 2/3 of the water. Repeat this process 5 times.

Remove as much water as you can without losing any of the kief. Then run the water through a coffee filter. squeeze the filter to remove excess water. Let the mixture dry. What you are left with is hash.
