Bubble Hash is one of the purest and most popular cannabis concentrates. The best thing about it? You can make it yourself without any chemical solvents. All you need are a few basic tools, ice water and a little patience. Although the process may seem complicated at first, with the right instructions it becomes surprisingly easy - and the result is definitely worth it.
In this blog, you will learn how to make your own bubble hash step by step, why proper drying is so important and how to avoid typical mistakes. Whether you are a beginner or already have some experience, by the end you will have the knowledge you need to produce high-quality bubble hash that you can see and enjoy.
What is bubble hash?
Bubble Hash is a high-quality cannabis concentrate that is produced by a purely mechanical process without the use of solvents. The name "bubble" comes from the bubbles that form when the hashish is heated - a sign of its purity and quality.
The special thing about Bubble Hash is that it extracts the trichomes of the cannabis plant, which contain the majority of the cannabinoids and terpenes. Cold water and ice are used to separate the trichomes from the plant. These are then filtered and collected using special sieve bags, known as bubble bags.
The result is a clean, potent and flavourful product that is particularly appreciated in the cannabis community for its purity. Whether you smoke it, vape it or vape it in Edibles use - Bubble Hash offers a versatile way to get the best out of your plant.
The right equipment for bubble hash
To make bubble hash, you need a few special tools that make the process easier and ensure the quality of the end product. The most important accessories are the so-called bubble bags. These are sieve bags in various micron sizes that ensure that only the valuable trichomes are filtered, while plant residues and impurities are left behind.
In addition to the bubble bags, you will need:
- Bucket or container : For the mixture of cannabis, water and ice.
- Ice cubes and cold water : The cold effectively detaches the trichomes from the plant.
- Rührwerkzeug A sturdy spoon, a stirring rod or an electric mixer for larger quantities.
- Trocknungshilfen A fine-meshed sieve or a drying mat to dry the hash evenly and cleanly.
With these accessories, you are perfectly equipped to produce clean and high-quality bubble hash. For more inspiration on related products, you can take a look at our Hash-Kollektion throw. The right equipment is crucial in order to end up with a product that not only looks good, but is also flavourful and potent.
Making bubble hash: Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung
Making bubble hash is easier than it seems at first glance if you follow the steps exactly. Here is a detailed guide on how to produce high-quality hash:
Vorbereitung
Before you start, roughly chop your cannabis and place it in the freezer for at least a few hours. The cold will make the trichomes more brittle and easier to detach. In the meantime, you can put your bubble bags in a bucket - from fine (smallest micron) to coarse (largest micron).
Mischen
Add your frozen cannabis to the top bag along with ice cubes and cold water. Start stirring the mixture with a sturdy spoon, a stirring stick or an electric mixer. The trichomes will detach from the plant and remain suspended in the water.
Filtern
Drain the mixture through the bubble bags. Each layer filters a different level of trichomes, depending on the micron size of the bag. At the end of the process, a different quality of hash will remain in each bag.
Ernten
Collect the resin residue from the sieves with a card or spatula. Work carefully so as not to impair the quality of the trichomes.

Drying bubble hash: how to do it properly
Drying is one of the most important steps in the production of bubble hash. If this is not carried out correctly, the end product can lose its quality or, in the worst case, go mouldy. After harvesting, the trichomes are still moist and sticky, which makes them susceptible to contamination and moisture. Patience is therefore required to achieve a perfect result.
To dry bubble hash, it should be spread out evenly on a fine-meshed mat or a special drying sieve. It is important to spread the hash as thinly as possible so that the moisture can escape evenly. The drying area should be cool, dark and well ventilated to achieve optimum results.
A particularly effective method is freeze-drying, in which the moisture is gently removed without destroying the structure of the trichomes. Although this is more time-consuming, it often delivers the best results. Regardless of the method, never squeeze the bubble hash while it is still moist, as this hinders drying and increases the risk of mould.
Once the hash is completely dried, it acquires its characteristic crumbly consistency and is ready for storage or use. A well-dried product is characterised by its intense aroma, bright colour and high potency. You can find more information on this process in our article on Semi-Dry-Hash-Methode .
Storing bubble hash: how to preserve the quality
Once the bubble hash has been carefully dried, correct storage is crucial to preserve its quality in the long term. Trichomes are sensitive to light, heat and oxygen, which is why the end product should be stored in a suitable environment.
The best method is to store it in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. Glass containers are particularly suitable as they do not absorb odours and do not release any chemicals into the hash. Alternatively, silicone containers can be used as they also do not allow moisture to penetrate and protect the sensitive trichomes.
High temperatures and direct sunlight should be avoided at all costs, as they can break down the cannabinoids and terpenes. A stable, low temperature helps to maintain the quality of the hash for months. For longer storage, vacuum packaging is also recommended to further minimise contact with oxygen.
Bubble Hash stored correctly retains its intense flavour, potency and consistency. It is therefore ready for use at any time and remains a delight, regardless of whether you use it on its own or in combination with other products.

Common errors in the production of bubble hash
Although making bubble hash is relatively easy with the right instructions, beginners in particular often make small mistakes that can affect the quality of the end product. One common mistake is stirring the mixture too vigorously or for too long. This leads to not only the trichomes but also plant material getting into the sieve bags, which contaminates the hash and reduces the quality.
The choice of water also plays a role. Tap water, which contains a lot of minerals or residues, can affect the purity of the end product. It is therefore better to use filtered or distilled water.
Another critical point is drying. Many beginners are impatient and try to speed up the process with heat, but this can destroy the trichomes and impair the flavour. Pressing the moist hash is also a common mistake, as this not only prevents drying but also encourages mould growth.
Finally, a lack of cleanliness can have a negative impact on the entire process. Tools and surfaces should always be clean and free of residue to avoid contaminating the hash. Avoiding these mistakes can significantly improve the quality of your bubble hash, giving you a pure, flavourful and potent end product.
