Sunbiz, hope you don't mind -- I think we should pick Weez's brain about this a bit.

ARRRRRRRRR matey, I'll do me best.

Weezard, would you show us the spigot for the top bucket? Is this a DIY job on a "Homer" bucket or something premade?

Left over bubba bucket.
I had installed a spigot that I bought on da bay.
It was intended to make nute change-out easier.
Installed it a little low and it kept getting bumped and leaking.
When it turned out that I was actually too lazy to ever change out my nutes, I retired the Damp thing.

But, one can buy 7 gallon buckets with the spigots installed at brew supply places for about $25.

Could you maybe use an Igloo water cooler? (insulated already, has a (tiny) spigot)

That works perfectly if you put the mush in the coarse bag first. Otherwise that spigot will clog immediately.

And could you elaborate a bit about the aquarium pump? (style/capacity) That's a pretty healthy return flow you've got going back to the top bucket. As slow as the bubblebags drain, seems like the pump might run dry. (?) Is that a problem? Sorry for my ignorance, but I was a poor kid and never had an aquarium. All I had was a stinky turtle. Other kids gettin' neons, guppies...all I got was salmonella. Don't know NOTHIN' about no fancy-ass aquarium pump.

I mis spoke 'bout dem pump.
It's a Submersible Fountain pump.
Cheapest kine.
The GPH is not important. You can turn it off and on as needed.
Same with the spigot.
Between the two you can keep the mush, just right.

And you are agitating your mush inside the work bag with the paint paddle, yes? (Risking snarling up that bag if you're not careful, is what I'm asking...)

And in a 5 gallon bucket, I have yet to snag a bag.
The paint mixer/drill is just a laziness thing.
A large metal spoon works well as does a hardwood paddle.

Thanks in advance. This looks like a great way to rinse every last trichome out of the mush without having to run 20 gallons of water through the sieving system. :thumbsup:

Saves on ice too.
Once you knock off all the intact resin globules you could still get a decent buzz if you then dry the mush and cure it and smoke it.
I don't.
I chop it and boil it in a pot of water with a pound of butter for an hour or so, strain it through a nylon "footie" and put it inna fridge till it hardens and seperates..
Then, I throw da spent mash in the compost pile with the big fan leaves..
So rich, yah?!
That butter makes incredible cookies, because there have been plenty of globules ruptured before and during the mushing.
And that coats the sugar leaf with a film of resin that the ice mush does not harvest.
One can use an alcohol rinse, or butane, but I like the butter.
Tastes mo' betta.

Aloha
Weeze.
