Going to start brewing soon...Help me.

I have 21g needles that are luer lock. Will this be ok to use to filter out the gear? Also my syringe filters have a luer lock side and a slip side. I'm going to use the luer side on for the syringe and put the needle on the slip side of the filter. Will the luer lock work on the slip side of the filter or should I get 18g luer slip needles?

Yup it'll work just fine my friend. 21g is great, I typically draw my shots with that and it's fairly gentle on the stopper. I use 25g on the filter sometimes, no issues. Make sure you use a separate needle to vent the vial while u inject the gear through the filter. 25g is good or any smaller guage. Place it in the vial at an angle. Only a tiny bit of the vent needle needs to be in the vial. Try to keep it from touching the finished gear.

Best of luck bud

Filtered 50ml last night. Wow that was a pain in the ass. It took me like 2 hours to filter even with the oil warmed up. The oil was dripping by the drop. I used a 21g needle and i tried a 10ml syringe and a 3ml syringe to see if it would be faster but not really. My hands are sore as fuck tooda from all the pushing. Did i do something wrong?

You need to use a caulking gun to push your syringe plunger. A sixty ml syringe can hold about 40ml and still fit
In the caulking gun
