A curated handful of recipes and techniques worth keeping close from the original Open Source Hash library.
Aleks ZedminWhen equal-length wash bags settle at the same depth, their bottoms press together. Hashtek’s staggered bag lengths create natural separation for better water movement and easier collection.
Aleks ZedminThe best hash washer depends on batch size, cleaning requirements, room layout, and how much process control you need. Compare BubbleTek, A-Series, and 85t systems using current published specifications.
Aleks ZedminAlchemy Pure went from 5-gallon test washes to a third-place Solventless Cup finish on its first run with a 30-gallon Hashtek system. Now the New York farm is scaling to two 65-gallon lines.
Aleks ZedminBuild an auditable solventless production forecast from working load, hash and rosin recovery, selling price, labour, operating costs and installed equipment investment.
Aleks ZedminThe Hashtek A-Series Tall is a plug-and-play automated agitation retrofit for PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain tanks, including insulated vessels.
Aleks ZedminDeclining wash yield can be an early plant health signal. Learn why resin production often drops before biomass, and how mom stock, HpLVd, Fusarium, and quarantine practices affect solventless output.
Aleks ZedminBuild a reliable raised-bed drip irrigation system with pressure-compensating emitters, filtration, pressure regulation, shutoff valves, and optional fertigation.

Aleks ZedminIce cold, lightly fizzy, and built in the BubbleTek. The Hall of Flowers spritz that kept people coming back.
Aleks ZedminVancouver’s Heady Happenings Hash Cup recap. 8 of 30 entries failed testing, a blind jar challenge, and Hashtek users took 1st, 3rd, and 5th.
Aaron MundayAfter running an Osprey and Hashtek A-Series side by side for months, Aaron Munday of AMHG made the switch. Here’s what changed — melt, rosin returns, and control.
Aleks ZedminWe tested vibrating stainless screens vs bags. Clogging and overflow remain the bottleneck, driven by limited filtering area despite easier cleanup.
