When the extract is classified through a series of decreasingly sized mesh filters, you can isolate the best parts of your extract. When extracted in cold water, the trichomes tend to drop to the bottom of your bucket or washing machine while the plant matter tends to float. The bubble hash method requires a little bit more work, but can yield a much cleaner product. Green Candy dry ice hash from fresh frozen trim shown below. The dry ice method is a fast way to extract kief. Dry ice kief can also be rosin pressed to squeeze the oils out of the waxy membrane that encapsulates them, for those that prefer to dab. Many hash smokers tend to like a pressed kief type of end-product because you don’t need any specialized smoking aparatus. This means that if you want to keep it from growing mold you will have to store it in the freezer, or you can let the kief dry for a few days or a week or so before pressing it. The kief extracted with this method will still have moisture in it, but it can be pressed and smoked. This is good because the dry ice tends to break the trichomes free from the plant matter before it gets pulverized. You can make dry ice hash from fresh frozen trim. Bone-dry plant matter will pulverise quickly and end up in your kief. Your plant matter should also still have some moisture content to it before you kief. When more of the fan leaves are added the quality will degrade. The best dry ice kief is usually made with the small ‘popcorn’ buds and sugar leaf trim.

Dry ice kief can also have pulverised plant matter in the mix. This is because in addition to trichomes, you are likely to also have broken pistils (hairs) in your extract. Generally, dry ice hash is less pure than bubble hash.
