Store bought GSO and Safflower oil

[Mechanics]

Just curious if most of the home brewers use store GSO and did you filter oil only before mixing with compound .

Also I helped a lab that used Safflower oil . And I know it was store bought.

Reason for me asking is because you can get 710 bottle of GSO for $7 and if you get it from raw supplier its like $22 (roughly) for 100 ml .

Is there a difference . maybe that's a good question for the supplier

But was wondering if only uses store Bought GSO

I've done on sale GSO from a local grocery store and I filtered it before hand because I could see debris. And then brewed normally and made some shweet TNE and test prop with it. Both turned out on point.

Store oil works perfectly fine.
You'd be surprised how many gray-market "pharma" labs use store oil
Sure they may buy the bottles wholesale by the box, but they are exactly the same ones you find at supermarkets.

gray-market means they are legally manufactured and properly registered to do so, in a country where gear is legal, even if they know 99%+ of their production ends up in black markets.

As for GSO just make sure it ain't ROASTED gso, some even contain garlic and other spices lol.

Store GSO is fine, but GNC MCTs is my personal favorite (technically store bought too).
Store Sesame oil works great too. Just be careful with oils that may slowly oxidize, like Olive o.
Store bought oil attracts ZERO unwanted attention, you know.

As for filtering
yes prefilter it, just try to buy true lab filters instead of coffee ones.
You just need said lab filters, they are cheap, and can usually bought at (brick and mortar) lab stores without raising any red flags (pay cash).
You'll also need funnels, bottles and patience, lots of it.

I have used both grocery store grape seed and MCT. Only filtered after brewing.

Just make sure any oil you use is additive free and your good.

Just stay away from motor oil lol

Now seriously
it looks like olive oil can be used and it's very healthy

Big-pharma doesn't use it since products may spend YEARS in shelves, and olive oil may slowly oxidize.
Not a problem for brew-as-you-go use. Just prefilter it.

Lots of good info . there . I'm gonna use this cold press gso from the store .

Shit bill Roberts brewed with castor oil.


I also only ever filter after brewing. Not much matters until after you filter.

That's because castor oil was used on early big pharma formulations

Some gravity prefiltering doesn't hurt and may prevent sterile filters from clogging.
I'm researching about brewing gear in olive oil
looks like prefiltering is badly needed as to remove vegetable particulates.
