3. Rosin Extraction Basics
Rosin is created with heat, pressure, and
filtration.
●
The heat being applied to your material liquefies the
glandular trichome heads present in cannabis, then
the pressure forces the resulting cannabinoid-rich oil
through the filtration media.
●
Technically speaking, rosin is a mechanical
separation process, as opposed to a true
“extraction”. However, the term extraction is used
interchangeably with solvent-based and solvent-less
extraction.
●
Rosin can be produced with a variety of different
textures or consistencies and has a potency level
that is on par with hydrocarbon-based extraction
(60% - 90% +). Rosin can also often be extremely
terpene-rich and aromatic if high quality material is
being pressed.
●
Different materials, strains, growing media, and other
factors contribute to the yield and quality of your
rosin. We encourage ample experimentation with
your material to dial in the perfect settings with your
PurePressure rosin press to get the best results
possible!
Consistencies & Textures
Lower temperatures tend to produce
budders and batters, where higher
temperatures can often produce a shatter
or oil-like consistency. Depending on your
material, rosin can be made into sugar,
wax, shatter sauce, budder, and more!
Live Rosin
Live rosin is made by washing fresh frozen
cannabis into bubble hash and then
pressing it into rosin. For optimal results,
use a freeze dryer to dry your hash in order
to get the best color and terpene profile.
