How to Make Bubble Hash

Bubble Hash Production in 8 Steps

Most people just use one bucket when they are making hash. I will instruct how to use two buckets, in order to speed up production and quality, as well as to get a longer life out of the bubble bags. You’ll need to buy another bucket, but it’s well worth it for those who are making bubble hash regularly. This ‘two bucket method’ is explained here:

Materials needed:

• 2 same sized buckets (1 gallon or 5 gallon)
• bubble bag kit
• cold water and ice
• a stirring stick (broomstick, power tool)
• 25 micron pressing mesh screen
• towel
• a spoon
• herb

Bucket 1: Line the bubble bags into the inside of this bucket, using the fine screened small micron bags first and the larger screened micron bag last. Just let this sit here as so for now – we’ll come back to it.

Bucket 2: Fill bucket 2 about halfway full with enough cold water to cover the bottom of the bubble bags. Some people including myself, like to add ice into the mix also. This will make churning the mix more difficult, but you will achieve a colder temperature, which helps to knock the desired compounds (THC, CBD, ect.) off of the herb easier.

Churn the ice water and herb:

1.) Add your dry or frozen buds or trimmings into bucket 2, go ahead and dump them into your cold water and ice mix.

2.) With your stirring stick or broomstick, churn the herb and water/ice as aggressively as you desire.  A benefit of this two bucket system is that you will not damage bubble bags while you are churning, a common problem while stirring herb inside of the bubble bag, as the old method suggests. With no bubble bags lined in a bucket, you can hit the bottom and sides of the bucket as you please.

3.) Stir the mix good, make sure you are hitting the herb with your churning motions. Some dudes like to go super crazy and beast churn the mix like a madman, but if you overdo it you’re only creating fine plant or leaf matter that will degrade the hash quality. Some people like to use kitchen appliances or power tools to help stir. That choice is yours.

After a few minutes of stirring and churning, you are ready to filter a mix and get your hash!

Filter your hash:

4.) Take bucket 2, with the herb and ice water and slowly pour it into bucket 1. Stay away from the sides of the bubble bags and pour directly into the center of the screens. Go ahead and pour all of bucket 2’s contents into bucket 1.

5.) Now pull each bubble bag out one by one, letting the drip fall into the next smaller screened bubble bag below it. Your first bag is just your buds and trimmings. After this one drains just take it out, and use it again if you want for another run. They get weaker in yield and potency each consecutive time you do this.

6.) Repeat the draining process for each bubble bag in the bucket. You can lightly squeeze them to help drain faster, but again don’t over do it. Short firm downward “shakes” do a good job to help drain bubble bags quicker.

Hash harvest:

7.) When collecting hash from bubble bags, the goal is to stretch the screen filter tight, in order to release as must water from the hash as you can. There’s an easy way to do this with your bucket. Simply stretch the sides of the bubble bag over the outside of your bucket, pulling all sides downward. This will get the screen nice and tight, with the hash easy to collect using a spoon. As seen below:

8.) Take what you get from the spoon and slop it onto the 25 micron pressing mesh screen in a pile. Completely cover it with the pressing mesh screen. Now use the towel folded over it to press this stuff dry and into a ball. Use all of your body weight, you want to get out all of your moisture. Work more to shape the ball and there you go – hash!

*Don’t immediately store freshly made hash balls. There is still a lot of moisture in them, and if you go right to putting new hash balls in bags, they will mold. Keep pressing the hash ball with the finish screen and towel hard to get moisture out quicker. Bubble hash balls should be left in open air for a few hours, at least. Left out in a clean, safe location overnight will dry them out to a safe storage level.

That’s it. Repeat, reuse and enjoy. Remember to clean your bags.

Cleaning Bubble Bags

Be sure that your bubble bags are clean for each new use. If there is any residue from previous runs, the hash making process will be much slower as the screens are clogged. Clogged bubble bags drain slowly – don’t be the dude who is holding up a bubble bag full of cold hash water for minutes as it drips out. Be smart. The best practice is to wash after each hash run you do

• Use cold water to rinse the bags completely, and be careful as you do this. Don’t rip up the precious screens.

• Do not use hot water to clean bubble bags. This will melt trichomes, leading to a sticky clogged mess that was worse than before you tried to clean it.

• For heavy clean-up, try using 99% isopropyl alcohol and gently scrubbing residue off with a soft brush. Then rinse with cold water and hang to dry.

Pure Clean Hash: Bubble Hash vs. BHO, ISO, RSO…

Dry and water based processes of making hash (Bubble Hash, Kief, ect.) are undoubtedly the cleanest methods available, safe from any unwanted contamination.

Other methods of hash production include liquid-gas solvent based methods such as BHO(Butane Hash Oil), ISO(Isopropanol Oil), RSO(Rick Simpson Oil) and the CO₂ based ‘CO₂ oil’. These can be pure and clean, but there are chances of residual solvent and pesticide contamination – the statistics below speak for themselves.

Chemical contamination of extracts and concentrates is a growing concern for medical and recreational legal marijuana users. And it should be. While not to condemn these concentrate/extract making methods, it should be noted that they have their dangers, and when not performed by people who know what they are doing, runs into sketchy territory.

A recent study in the Journal of Toxicological Sciences proves this theory.

A cannabis testing lab (The Werc Shop) along with USC analyzed 57 different cannabis concentrates on the California medical marijuana market.

Fifty-seven samples of cannabis concentrates from California medicinal cannabis users were used. 48 of these being solvent-based, while the remaining 9 were dry or water-based hash samples, named the “hash” group. They were measured for presence of residual solvents and/or pesticides, as well as their cannabiniod levels.

All of the “hash” samples tested (dry or water-based extraction, ie. bubble bags) were clean from unwanted contamination. Citing them as “exceptionally clean compared to the solvent-based concentrate” and theorizing that “Most hash processing uses large quantities of water which could potentially wash away pesticides which are water soluble while the non-water soluble cannabinoids remain behind” source.

The concentrates tested(solvent-based extraction) did not have the same luck.  “Over 80% of the concentrates were found to contain residual solvents, including isopentane, butane, heptane, propane, and other solvents. Additionally, nearly 40% of the concentrate samples contained pesticides”

What this means is that the consumer should be very careful about trusting solvent-based extraction cannabis concentrates. Sure you get a more potent product, but there are potential dangers you should be aware of.

In comparison, making “bubble hash” herb extraction can be done by anyone safely. No risky chemical contamination, no stove top fire accidents, and it also serves as a form of moderate exercise! Churning ice and herb in the bucket is a good upper-body workout – those who have tried already know.
