i used a bunch of leftover shake to make hash.. and i used 70% iso-whatever alcohol. now i soaked it and strained it and the solution was a dark green which looked good. now it has been 4 days and it hasent completly evaporated and it is now brown, and there is a mess of brown gunk on the bottom which looks good... now since it took so long to evaporate and i used the wrong alcohol, will it still make okay hash?

it should be fine. the only issue would be that you probly wont have the full quantity you could have gotten with using a higher proof alcohol. did you use one wash or more and how long did you soak it?

Should be fine...as Hook was getting at, if you haven't performed mroe than one wash on the plant material, you should do at least another one or two. Also, consider using a hot plate to speed evap.

I too am wondering about home made hash. I usually just buy an ounce of rag weed, grind it up, then put it in a cup and put pantyhose over it and shake. The finished product is almost pure trichcomes. Then I usually just put it into tinfoil and press it. This time however I would like to try and make the real deal. So I guess my question is what would be the best alcohol to use? I gather all you do is put the kief in the alcohol than evaporate it, right? Also, what is the best method for pressing the hash, or do you need to?

Just about right...you let the plant material mix with the alcohol for a few days, do a few washes of it, then filter and let the alcohol evaporate...no need to press it

What exactly do you mean by a few washes? Can you explain this a little more please? Also I was curious if ever clear or something similar would work?

I use a blowdryer... You can evaporate an entire bottle of 91% iso in about 30 mintues. Make sure you have a fan going and the windows open. You can do iso inside... you CAN NOT do butane inside(unless your looking to die:O)
