Does your stir plate have a magnetic piece you have to put in the brew? Also have got a vacuum set up yet?My first couple of brews I used a sauce pan on a stove top, heated the pan up on low heat, and swirled the beaker around in the pan. I very quickly realized it was a huge PITA so I dropped $55 on a magnetic stirrer with hotplate on eBay. It was cheap, but it works just fine so far, and I have made probably 2 dozen brews with it
Yes, I use the magnetic stir bars in the brew. I have been dragging my feet on the vacuum set up lol. The caulking gun and syringe is tedious, but easyDoes your stir plate have a magnetic piece you have to put in the brew? Also have got a vacuum set up yet?
I use a dry heat iron and turn it around if i need heat. Lol but a just swirl the beaker on the ironHi, some guy from youtube make testosterone without magnetic stirrer and without any oven. It's even possible?
He just use basic stuff:
syringe with filter
some utensils
BB
BA
Oil
Test powder
I would like to try to make the test without magnetic stirrer. In the future I will buy magnetic stirrerIdk never done it. Ive heard of people letting it sit over night. If you have any powder that doesnt fall into solution it will just be crystals in solution or get filtered out. There is no reason not to just get a basic set up: single electric table top element, beakers, glass stir rod, syringe filters, caulk gun. You dont need the table top burner if you have a stove. Heat is key. Is it cost thats a issue for you?
Can I ask what brand and model you got? I'm about to grab one myselfMy first couple of brews I used a sauce pan on a stove top, heated the pan up on low heat, and swirled the beaker around in the pan.

You dont need one. I was talking about a glass stir rod. They are very cheap like a few bucksI would like to try to make the test without magnetic stirrer. In the future I will buy magnetic stirrer
Im sure its not a big deal but I dont think I would ever put anything metal in my brew. That is other than the syringe. Its probably compulsory but thinking about potentially injecting metals makes me cringe haha.Coffee cup warmer at 130F and a sterile kitchen spoon will make Test just fine.
Ok, I understand now, thank you. In my country the cost of glass stir rod is like 0,50$. very cheapYou dont need one. I was talking about a glass stir rod. They are very cheap like a few bucks
I hear you but if the brew was somehow able to start dissolving the spoon I think there would be larger issuesIts probably compulsory but thinking about potentially injecting metals makes me cringe haha.
The stirrers are pretty simple even if all you have is alcohol to submerge them.How do you all sterilize the magnetic stir bar?
I hard you can put it in the oven at 200f as low as it goes and leave it in there for 30/45 seconds then take out and it works good.. or even instead of a water bath has anyone tried using oil bath to break it down 1st then a blow-dryer to keep it warm in the Syringe barrel when they filter it. so its easy to pass through the filter ..... ? Any Thoughts guys on theses ideas lolFor something like test-e, I usually melt the powder into a liquid in the beaker then start adding the solvents and oil. I just stir using a syringe with cap on (since its sterile). I might even stick the solution in the microwave for a couple seconds to heat it up. The solution should turn crystal clear, and be a single color.
