this may be helpful for those with loads of trim
this is a closed washing machine recovery system---best to do out doors with access to a garden hose and electric outlet
you will need
normal size U.S. washing machine with a heavy load setting
18---1 gallon paint strainers
18---zip ties
3 sets of 5 bubble bags in the 20 gallon size range from 25 to 220 microns
3 33 gal trash cans
1 54 gal tote
i sump pump
100 lbs of ice
6' hose attached to the drain hole in the back bottom of the washer
cut holes and run drain hoses from the bottom of the trash cans to the tote
fill ur paint strainer bags 3/4 full of trim and zip tie the tops closed
place a layer of 6 bags of trim in the washer---top with 1st layer of bags with ice
repeat layering till the 18 bags of trim are in the washer and topped with ice---u gonna wash this same load 4 times
fill the washer with garden hose water and top with ice again
run the wash cycle 10-15 minutes
drain the washer trough the bags in the trash cans
the water drains from the trash cans to the tote
clean your bags separating the different microns between each cycle
open the lid to the washer add another 20 pounds of ice
fill the washer again with the water from the tote and the sump pump
wash cycles are 10-15 minutes with the last load allowed to go thru the spin cycle
4 washes seem to be the ideal recovery as u will eventually get chlorophyll to show in the 25 micron bag if u run more loads---this method will take approximately 3-4 hours and can recover approx 1/4 lb of hash
happy hashing
