Test C not holding

[tattscp35]

Been brewing for over 15 years and recently received some raws from a source here. Dor what ever reason it's not holding. In over 15 yrs of brewing I've never had this issue.

As you can see in the photo, the vial is stuff I brewed in the past. The stuff I recently brewed you can see has a crazy color to it. Any ideas?

Weird I just made test c 262mg/ml as RAWS were 2-3% off in testing . With 2/25 BA/BB in MCT oil holding just fine. You sure it's not moisture?

Not to hijack, but if it's moisture, do you have to throw batch out or can you boil out?

Empty all your vials in beaker heat the solution at 100 degree Celsius for 30 minutes will remove moisture . however BA will evaporate at that temperature so once solution is clear turn off heat and when it's below 70 degree Celsius add 1% more BA . re filter it and use fresh sterile vials .

It won't boil but you can see it evaporate when it gets hot.
Sure it's test c?

It's not moisture. I did two separate small batches with these raws and it happened both times.

Moisture in the raws themselves, maybe? I've read lately about a few instances of guys running into similar problems.

Interesting. Hoping the source will respond

Source happen to be ST? Someone else on the board and I had the same issue with “easily dissolved” compounds from them recently. I had to crank it until the BB started to vaporize and it was still cloudy like it is here.

the Problem is not Holding ….
Raws are to wet, not enough dry before.
Same Problem I got With test e. By ST

Yes it was

Were you able to figure anything out to make it work?

@tattscp35

Did you melt point test your raws first?

30 min cooking by 75 C

@tattscp35 You should probably try contacting ST. I believe they sent out replacements for some of these problems. Good luck.

Nah, ended up having to get them reshipped. Anne seems to have recognized the problem and will work with you to reship. I think it was an issue with the domestic guy. Haven’t got the reship yet but I’ll be posting a thread about when I’m able to verify the quality of the reship.
