thats what i thought about the hose, too big but i wasnt sure. lol, two yrs. it certainly wouldnt last that long now but maybe after i get a stash going. what about aging it after it was pressed? i have read about this also. i would like both dry sieved and bubble, i read an article on combining the two and getting the best of both worlds, flavor and potency. it was like 10-20% bubble with the rest dry. put through a coffee grinder and pressed or cooked into hash burgers. just the shape really, not actually putting it in food. thanks though for the info. we have a tshirt screening place near here but im not sure yet if they just sell the screen itself. i found a 200 mic srceen that is used for straining honey. its a plastic form that fits the top of a 5 gallon bucket for 10$ . but i think this is still too large for what i want.
