Rosin and other extracts are increasingly popular. You can find them at most pharmacies, and social media is awash with detailed pictures and videos of the yellow goo. In particular, rosin-pressing videos are popular and often inspire people to press rosin themselves.

The temperature of the printing press is very important when it comes to the quality and quantity of rosin. The optimum temperature may be different for each printing press as it depends on several factors:

Type of pressed material (flower, hash, dry sifted)
Personal preference (taste, quantity and quality)
Freshness of pressed material

What is Rosin?

Rosin is a solid form of resin obtained by heating plant material. It’s a relatively newcomer to the scene, but it’s already gaining popularity for its powerful effects and ease of use.

It’s also more potent than other forms of marijuana. The exact THC content of rosin depends on the quality of the starting material and the method of extraction, but is usually in the range of 20–80%. This makes it one of the strongest forms of available.

How to Use a Rosin Press

Using a rosin press to make your own concentrates is a simple process, but it requires attention to detail to get the best results. Here are the basic steps to follow:

Step 1: Prepare Your Material

The first step is to prepare your material. Make sure it is dry and free of any contaminants. You can use flower, kief, or hash. If you’re using flower, grind it up to increase its surface area and make it easier to press.

Step 2: Preheat Your Press

Preheat your press to the desired temperature. The ideal temperature will depend on the material you’re using, but generally, temperatures between 180°F and 220°F work well. Use a thermometer to ensure that the temperature is accurate.

Step 3: Load Your Material

Load your material into a rosin bag. The size of the bag will depend on the amount of material you’re pressing. A 2×4 inch bag is a good size for small batches. Make sure the bag is folded over and the material is evenly distributed inside.

Step 4: Press Your Material

Place the bag with the material into the press between two pieces of parchment paper. Apply pressure to the press until the rosin begins to flow out of the bag. You may need to adjust the pressure or temperature to get the desired results.

Step 5: Collect Your Rosin

Once you’ve pressed your material, use a rosin stamp or scraper to collect the rosin from the parchment paper. Be careful not to touch the rosin with your fingers, as this can affect its flavor and consistency. Store your rosin in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

By following these simple steps, you can use a rosin press to make high-quality concentrates at home. Experiment with different materials, temperatures, and pressures to find the perfect combination for your needs.
