Hand-whipping is a key step in artisanal hash-making using traditional methods.
It involves manually mixing and pressing purified cannabis resin to produce a desired hashish texture and consistency.
What is Hand-Whipping?
Hand-whipping initiates the curing process by agitating the resin glands through rhythmic folding and kneading movements.
A hash maker will work the paste in their hands until it reaches an ideal point of moisture, stiffness, and color.
Extended hand-whipping incorporates air to make the hash more pliable and smooth to smoke.
It requires careful pressure and temperature control to achieve premium hash.
