How to Cure Rosin

How to Cure Rosin

Pressing Rosin is one of the best ways to get the maximum potential out of your Cannabis or Hemp Flower, Kief, or Hash. Rosin is a type of concentrate that can be extracted in minutes, and you’ll end up with an extract that’s extra high in cannabinoids and terpenes. However, the process isn’t always done as soon as you’ve pressed it- you should also know how to cure Rosin.

While you can use your freshly pressed Rosin if you prefer, some users prefer to put the extract through a curing process to improve its consistency and effects. Your finished product could differ greatly depending on the kind of curing method you use, and you might even want to experiment with different curing methods. Here’s a guide on how to cure Rosin in several ways.

How To Press Rosin

Before we get to curing, it’s important to know how to press Rosin effectively. Rosin is extracted by applying heat and pressure to Cannabis Flower, Kief, or Hash. You can also use Hemp Flower, Kief, or Hash if you’d prefer to make CBD Rosin. 

While you can use a household item such as a hair straightener to apply heat and pressure to your product, the best way is to use a Home Rosin Press. These tools are specifically designed for helping you make high-quality Rosin in the comfort of your home. What’s more, they can be set to your desired temperature to give you your perfect Rosin extracts.

You’ll need to wrap your product before pressing it. Cannabis or Hemp Flower can be folded in a piece of parchment paper, but you should use a Rosin Extraction Bag if you’re pressing Rosin from Kief or Hash. You can then place your product between the plates of your Rosin press and clamp down until you hear a sizzling sound. Repeat a few times to extract plenty of Rosin.

Once the Rosin has been extracted, you can use a Collection Tool to scrape it up and store it in a container. You might also want to use a Collection Plate to make it easier. Once you’ve collected Rosin, there are a few different ways you can cure it.

How To Hot Cure Rosin

How To Hot Cure Rosin

Hot curing Rosin is one of the most common methods of curing Rosin. This involves applying extra heat to your extracted Rosin to achieve your desired consistency. There are a few ways you can hot cure your Rosin, but you’ll need to make sure you have a jar or container that’s capable of withstanding heat.

One way to hot cure Rosin is to place your container in the oven at around 200°F. Leave it in there for an hour or so and you’ll notice that the heat changes the consistency of your Rosin after a while.

Alternatively, you can place your container of Rosin in a container of hot water. This is arguably a safer way to hot cure your Rosin as you won’t need to worry about the heat and pressure damaging your container.

After hot curing your Rosin, you might want to leave it for a while. Not only will this allow it to cool, but the longer you leave your Rosin to cure, the better the final result will be. After a period of curing, you might notice the cannabinoids crystallizing, giving you high-quality cured Rosin.

How To Cold Cure Rosin

Applying heat isn’t the only way to cure your Rosin. Many users prefer to cure Rosin with the opposite approach- by applying cold temperatures to their containers of Rosin. Once again, there are a few effective ways you can do this.

One of the most common ways to cold cure your Rosin is to leave it in the refrigerator for a while. It’s generally recommended to leave it in the fridge for a day or two to allow it to fully cure. You can also put your Rosin in the freezer. It generally takes less time to cure this way, although using extra-cold temperatures isn’t always ideal.

The idea behind cold-curing your Rosin is that, while hot curing can damage the terpenoid profile of your extracts, cold curing will help them retain their flavor. As such, you’ll end up with cured Rosin that’s much more flavorful as well as being potent.

Much like with hot curing, after taking your Rosin container out of the fridge or freezer, you should leave it at room temperature for days or weeks to allow it to cure further. Once it reaches your desired consistency, you can enjoy the results.

Whipping Your Rosin

Whipping Your Rosin

There are also other ways you can determine the final consistency of your Rosin extracts. For instance, users who want their Rosin to be less sap-like and more like Batter or Budder will often whip their Rosin to give it a thicker, more batter-like consistency.

This is very simple to do. After you’ve extracted and collected your Rosin, use your collection tool or a similar object to whip and stir your Rosin thoroughly. It’s important to do this rapidly while the Rosin is still liquidy. This will result in the extract becoming thicker and more like Budder.

After whipping your Rosin, you might want to hot cure or cold cure it. You can also simply leave it in a container at room temperature for a while. Whichever way, this kind of Rosin is excellent to scoop up and use for smoking, vaping, or dabbing purposes.

Conclusion

The final consistency of your Rosin can vary significantly. Not only will the temperature you use to press your Rosin make a difference, but the way you cure your Rosin can also impact how it turns out. Cold Curing is great for maintaining terpenes whereas Hot Curing is often quicker. However, it’s best to experiment to see which works best for you.
