The Secret Ways to Get Every Last Molecule of Kief Out of Your Weed Grinder

Also known as kief, these tiny and rubbery crystals that serve as a casing for cannabis flowers, called resin glands. Kief contains cannabinoids and terpenes that make each cannabis strain unique. It is often used to make various concentrates or as an additive to your standard pipes, joints and bongs. Because of this, many users prefer to get hold of unique grinders to harvest that pollen and up their smoking game. Kief can be used to make things like hash butter or even kief butter.

A basic grinder doesn’t have a kief catcher, making it harder to extract the kief. The problem with this type of grinder is that kief occasionally gets stuck between the teeth and walls of the grinder.

For this reason, four piece grinders or kief catchers are the preferred alternatives. It is the standard and by far the most unique technique for gathering kief. The difference between a two or three piece grinder is having a kief catcher in the lower chamber under a fine screen to catch the kief that falls off the buds as you grind. There is a method to maximize the process of collecting kief from your grinder.

Here we’re going to talk about simple, step-by-step methods to get the maximum amount of kief out of your grinder:

First step: a coin

To start, we need to empty out the kief, which can be easily filtered from your grinder. Next, find a coin that fits snugly in the center compartment of your grinder, where the ground weed will end up. Using a dime is ideal because of its small size and because it doesn’t smell like copper. However, if you have a larger grinder, you may find that using a larger coin is wiser.

Just make sure the coin has room to bob around in the grinder by shaking it slightly and finding a motion that allows the coin to bounce around in the grinder with ease.

Second step: make sure you use dry nuggets.

Using dry nugs will ensure you get more kief than using fresh nugs. In fact, you should have noticed that kief falls off more easily as the herbs start to dry. Grinding fresh herbs may prove helpful for some since you won’t get much kief out of them.

There are methods of drying the bud to extract as much kief as possible. This could be done by placing your herb in the freezer for ten minutes to dry it out. This shouldn’t change the potency provided you don’t freeze for more than half an hour, although there will be a slight change in the taste of your cannabis and the way it smokes. Using a hair dryer might also work as long as you keep it on a low setting.

Third step: chilling before releasing kief

Reassemble the grinder and place in the freezer. This is very handy as cannabis trichomes become more fragile when exposed to cold, making them easier to remove from the metal of your grinder. Just leave the assembled grinder in the freezer all night. When you wake up the next morning, you should be at the ideal temperature to get that nice, great-tasting kief. At this point, you’re primed for the most exciting step, which is actually removing the kief.

Fourth step: shaking

Shake the living daylight out of the mill. Pretend you have the maracas in your hands and are at a party, then shake them off. Imagine you are in a club and the DJ starts to swarm (the intensity of the shaking).

Shake it like a seasoned bartender would when making a vodka martini (shaken, not stirred). Whichever analogy you choose, the main goal here is to shake it! Bounce the coin round and round, up and down in your grinder, just like a fly caught in a lampshade. If you do well, the coin will hit the chilled, kief-covered walls inside your grinder while moving at around Mach 10, releasing the stubborn kief instantly.

Step Five: Get your reward.

Open the grinder, take out the coin, then watch how much extra kief you find in the grinder’s collection chamber. The inside of the grinder should resemble a mini Fuji made out of kief – as pretty as it is dangerous.

Rather than face the danger of falling down a mountain, the only downside is going higher than the highest point of the actual mountain, Kilimanjaro. As a result of the Flower Mill being a product that can be completely dismantled piece by piece, allowing for easy cleanup and even easier kief collection. The Flower Mill also grinds weed instead of grinding it, resulting in a flower bud covered in trichomes and ultimately a more effective way of ingestion.

Step Six: Clean your grinder.

Cleaning your grinder often to extract the maximum amount of kief will be something you should do. If you don’t clean the grinder enough, the screen will clog and you won’t be able to get as much kief. Your grinder should only be cleaned after all of the desired kief has been extracted from it or you risk losing it. If you remember all the kief you got out of your blender the first time you used it, you can say it’s more than the subsequent ones. If you clean your grinder regularly, you can get results like this every time.

Clean your grinder the same way you would clean a gun: gently with rubbing alcohol. Use a toothbrush to extract any extra kief before scrubbing with rubbing alcohol.

bottom line

Kief is of great value. Storing and extracting it allows you to get the most out of your weed. Put these tips into practice and stop worrying about missing out on all that kief you might re-extract. I have used some of these trucks for years and they have always given me positive results. This time you can also start rolling in the kief.
