There are many different types of hash. The easiest, and one of my favorites, is blond hash. You will need few materials to make it. This specific recipe is great for medium amounts of cannabis (2-4 oz.) but can easily be changed to accommodate more or less amounts just by using larger or smaller materials.
Materials:
1.) A silk screen (you can buy a yard of silk at a fabric store for real cheap)
2.) A coffee can or container of a similar size (if you have a lb. or more of cannabis to kief you can use a bucket)
3.) A big rubber band, or multiple rubber bands.
4.) Some change (a small handful will work with the coffee can, more for a bucket, might want to wash it first money is dirty)
5.) A flat surface that is at least twice the diameter of your container. (mirrors work best)
6.) Anything flat to scrape up piles of kief with. (your license or credit card will work perfect)
7.) Heavy duty plastic zipper bags, about 3"x4" in size for an ounce of kief (smaller if less)
8.) A vice, or "C" clamp (or even a heavy duty flower press)
9.) 2 very flat pieces of metal aprox. the same size as your plastic bags, but a little larger.
10.) A source of heat. (This can be a small heater, a hothead torch, heat gun, or even boiling water)
Process:
1.) Fill your container about 1/3 to 1/2 full with cannabis.
2.) Put the change in with it.
3.) Position a large enough piece of silk screen over the mouth of your container so that it drapes down over the sides.
4.) Put your rubber bands around the mouth of the container, securing the silk screen like a lid. Make sure there are no gaps and you use enough rubber bands to hold the weight of the change and cannabis without the screen sliding off. (You can use duct tape if this proves difficult.)
5.) Now shake the container upside down over your flat surface. Dust (kief) will accumulate on your surface. If you are using a mirror, it is much easier to see.
6.) After shaking rigorously for at least 10-20 minutes, you should have a significant amount of kief on your surface. Use your card to scrape it all up and gather it into a pile. Now you have kief, which is great to smoke without any further process, but we are not finished with the hash yet.
7.) Now fill your small zip tight baggy with the kief. Fill it completely full, but make sure you can zip it completely shut.
8.) Take this bag and put it between your flat pieces of metal and squish it down. Now put the bag, sandwiched between the flat pieces of metal into your vice or c-clamp. Tighten it down and apply some heat. (I like to use a heat gun). After the metal warms up tighten your vice a bit more, and a bit more, then let it reach a temp of around 150-200 degrees f. and remove the heat. Be very careful not to heat up the plastic bag directly, you don't want melted plastic in your hash!
9.) Let the metal cool completely, take your bag out of the vice and voila! A brick of blond hash! You can remove the plastic bag with a razor blade, as long as your marijuana had plenty of crystals, and the silk screen mesh was small enough, your brick should be rock-solid!
Note: To do this process in boiling water is a bit more difficult but possible if you don't have a heat gun.
