5 QUICK TIPS TO FIND BEST RESULTS
1 ) Freshness Counts – Just like fresh fruit and fresh flowers, you’ll want to press plant material
that is freshly dried. That smell you get o of fresh material comes from the terpenes. If your
material doesn’t have a strong aroma, your yield will be low to non-existent.
2) Quality ingredients make quality product. Just as better grapes make for better wine, starting
with better product will result in better rosin. The Rosin Press can help you with yield and pre-
serve the quality that is there, but it can’t help improve the quality of the materials you’re starting
with.
3) Use the right bags. Using the wrong bag can reduce your yield or allow plant matter to con-
taminate your rosin. In general, 90 micron bags are the good all-around bags for most usage, but
feel free to experiment a bit to find a bag that might produce higher yields for your strain without
forgoing quality.
4) Relative Humidity makes for a better batch. If your plant material is dry when you crush it, the
terpenes will be absorbed into it during the crushing process. You might want to invest in a humi-
dor or humidity packs to make sure your plant is moist without being wet before you press.
5) An even crush seems to help. When you pack your bag, an uneven, lumpy bag will result in an
uneven crush. Working to make sure the plant material is close to uniform in the bag will result in
a more even pressing.
