Highly concentrated: tips for better hash from Colorado's best - Denver News - The Latest Word

This is one of the best articles I've seen on the subject for a while. Since we started adopting some of Nick's techniques, we've managed to get full melt extractions using just water. Some of his best tips:
- Keep your water COLD. Dish gloves can help your hands deal with some of the shock.
- Make sure everything you use is CLEAN. If you wouldn't want it in your hash, don't leave it in your bags/bucket/washer.
- Use high quality water. Since switching to RO, or reverse osmosis, the difference is amazing.

I'm kind of a hash hound, so if you're just starting out, don't worry if you don't have RO water on hand or if you're mixing the wrong trichome heads together. Have fun with it and watch your back! A good hashing sesh can leave you quite sore.
