Steam Extraction Theory of Rosin

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 046

Theory that rosin pressing works as hot steam extraction, where moisture converts to steam under heat and pressure, carrying resin out of the plant.

Bubbleman articulated after consulting Todd McCormick. Steam carries resin out, resin drops onto parchment while steam evaporates. Explains why bone-dry material yields poorly.
