What you’ll need:

  • 1* set of bubble bags
  • 1* pressing screen
  • 1* bucket (approximately the same size as your bags)
  • 1* large mixing spoon (metal or wooden)
  • 1* plastic card (like a credit card)
  • 1* dish towel (or paper towels)
  • Plenty of ice & water

Basic Instructions:

  1. Line your bucket with your bubble bags, first starting with the 25 micron bag at the bottom (outside most), through to the 220 micron bag on top (inside most)
  2. Fill your bucket and bags with ice and water (approximately half full)
  3. Add your herbal plant trimmings, allowing it to soak into the ice water.
  4. Top up your bucket and bags with more ice (approximately two thirds full)
  5. Stir your mixture for around 15 to 20 minutes, adding ice if necessary to keep the water cold. A 50/50 mix of ice and water is ideal.
  6. Pull out your bags one by one, starting with the 220 micron and finishing with the 25 micron, draining the water into the bucket.
  7. Collect the herbal extract that has collected in the bottom of the bag using a spoon or plastic card.
  8. Place your collected herbal extract onto one half side your pressing screen with a dish towel or paper towel below it. Fold the other half on top and gently press the excess moisture out of your herbal extract.
  9. Allow extract to sit in a dry place until all moisture is gone. And boom! your herbal extract is ready to enjoy!
