When it comes to hash yield as a percentage of total weight of your starting material, there is a significant difference between dry material and fresh frozen material. The amount of moisture in fresh frozen  is much higher than the moisture in dried cannabis, which accounts for the variation in yield percentages between the two types of starting material. 

For Dried, Air-Cured Cannabis, 15-20% yield is a good target. 

For fresh frozen, look for 3-8%. 

The rule of thumb for calculating wet (fresh frozen) weight to dry (air cured) weight is 5:1. So if you get 4% wet, that’s equivalent to 20% dry.
