What Do You Guys/Gals Do With Hash Trimmings?

[psteve]

Another question: do you have to dry the trimmings before making hash or can you use them right after you trim them?

Yes.
But you should use them IMMEDIATELY, like within the first 72 hours.
After that, the chlorophyll will be breaking down, and you'll end up with green hash.
I always wait until it's fully cured before making hash. That way I get the nice golden color, and buttery flavor.
