Bubble hash is a clean, solvent-free concentrate made by separating trichomes with ice water extraction. With the right bubble bags and a cold setup, you can make premium hash at home — consistently.
🪣 What Is Bubble Hash?
Bubble hash refers to resin that “bubbles” when heated. It’s created by chilling plant material in ice water so trichomes become brittle and separate during gentle agitation. Filter screens (micron bags) catch different grades, from cooking-grade to full-melt.
🧊 Why Ice Water Extraction Works
Cold temps make trichomes snap off cleanly. Controlled agitation plus staged filtration yields clean, golden hash. To keep water colder for longer, add insulation to your 5-gallon setup and avoid heat creep between washes.
🔧 What You’ll Need (Beginner Home Kit)
Ice (plenty) + cold water
Large spoon/paddle or machine agitation
Drying screen or parchment + microplane/card
Towels for cleanup
💡 Pro tip: Keep your mix at 32–34°F. Colder water = cleaner separation and better melt.
Step-by-Step: How to Make Bubble Hash at Home
1️⃣ Prep Your Station
Clean surfaces, chill tools, and line your 5-gallon bucket with bubble bags from largest micron on top to smallest on the bottom.
2️⃣ Load & Chill
Add frozen plant material, then a heavy layer of ice, then fill with cold water. Rest a few minutes so everything equalizes in temperature.
3️⃣ Agitate Gently (15–20 Minutes)
Stir with a paddle — or use the 5-Gallon Bubble Machine — until the water turns milky. Gentle agitation preserves purity.
4️⃣ Drain Through the Bags
Lift each bag slowly, letting water drain into the next. Skim the collected resin at each micron stage. Lower microns usually contain the finest, meltiest grades.
5️⃣ Collect & Dry
Scoop the wet hash onto a drying screen or parchment. Break it into small pieces and air-dry 24–48 hours in a cool, dark place. Microplane if needed for faster drying.
🧠 Pro Tips for Better Yield & Purity
Stay cold: Use the Thermal Wrap Insulation Jacket to keep water near freezing.
Don’t over-mix: Light agitation = fewer contaminants, cleaner melt.
Run multiple washes: A second and third pull still deliver solid results.
Mix strains mindfully: Blend profiles for flavor and effect.
Store smart: Cool, airtight containers preserve aroma and melt.
🧼 How to Clean Your Bubble Bags
Rinse your BubbleBagDude Extraction Bags with cold water immediately after use.Avoid hot water (it can damage screens). Air-dry fully before storage to prevent odor or mold.
⚙️ Recommended Gear for a 5-Gallon Setup
5-Gallon Bubble Bags — durable screens, reliable micron staging.
5-Gallon Bubble Machine — consistent agitation for repeatable results.
Thermal Wrap Insulation — keeps the extraction colder, longer.
🧩 Final Thoughts
Bubble hash at home is equal parts craft and process control. Keep it cold, be gentle, and use proven gear for clean, golden results.
