How To Make ROSIN (Rosin Pressing) And Choose A Variety Of Rosin Pressers

The simply described way to make Rosin is this:

1.Take a rectangle of parchment paper and fold in half the long way.
2.Take a bud and place in the center of the fold in the parchment
3.Place wrapped bud in preheated hair straightener or Rosin press and press.
4.Remove “squished” bud and collect rosin.

Let me elaborate on all of these steps.

When selecting parchment, it is best to select a natural or organic option, if possible. Allow enough room for the bud to “stretch” as it is squished, and room for the oil to spread around the bud.

** An additional tech that came along, is called directional flow. After folding paper in half and loading product into the center, Then fold each side diagonally on each side of bud, as to direct the pressed oil towards the front of the created pocket.

The biggest key to Rosin is the beginning product. High quality fresh nugs and bubble hash will produce the finest quality rosin. Another factor is that every strain will product different results. Start small, experiment, and with good results, continue. When pressing bubble or shake, use an unbleached coffee filter, tea bag, or specialized rosin bags to prevent plant material getting into your fresh rosin!

Tips for High Yield Rosin Pressing

When PRESSING there are 3 KEY factors. TIME of press, and TEMPERATURE of plates and PSI! Since every strain of cannabis will react differently, you’ll need to play around with time and temperature to find what works best with your product.

How to Find the PSI of a Rosin Press

To find the PSI of your setup, take the pressure (tons, lbs, etc.) and divide it by the surface area of your plates. I would recommend staying above 1,000 PSI for an effective press.

Example
3″x3″ plate on a 10-ton press
3 x 3 = 9 sq in of surface area
10 tons = 20,000 lbs
20,000 / 9 = 2,222 pounds per square inch (PSI)

Best Temps and Time for Rosin Pressing

When it comes to finding the best time and temp for rosin pressing, you weigh the benefits of yield versus terpene preservation. Nobody can really give you the best exact time frame, it’s something you need to feel out with the press you’re using.

Hot press is 190–240°F for 30–180 seconds. Hot pressing rosin gives an oily or shatter consistency. The terpene profiles may not be as carefully preserved, but yields are higher than cold pressing.

Cold press is 160–190°F for 60–300 seconds. Cold pressing rosin makes a thick budder consistency. The best terpene preservation, but yields are lower than hot pressing.

Terpenes often degrade at over 250°F. Flowers (buds) are usually pressed hotter than bubble hash or sift, which extracts fine at lower temps.

Recommended Temps
Buds: 180–230°F
Hash: 160–190°F

When collecting rosin, if product is sappy, place on a moisture-absorbing surface to stiffen.

Hydraulic Rosin Press

A hydraulic rosin press uses hydraulic pressure to create the force necessary to extract rosin. No air compressor needed! Once the pressing plates are heated to the desired temperature, simply crank down the hand pump in order to operate a hydraulic rosin press. When shopping for a hydraulic rosin press, look for a high pressure model, starting at 10 tons (20,000 lbs).
