1st Time Home Brew Questions

[Tank1978]

I'm definitely buying a Lab-Fish here soon. I will hit you up once I get this if I have any questions as it will make my life so much easier. The Handpump sucked ass and wouldn't stay at even 10 psi for a few seconds with the steritop filter.

Don't pin that gear until you refilter it into new vials and I'm more than happy to help a brother out

If I use the PVDF Syringe filter when applying pressure to the syringe, how fast should the drops be for reference or expected ml per minute? I know I pushed way too hard the first time and blew it out. The Second time I did 50ml of tren it took at least 10-15 minutes to fill the vial.

Definitely feel like an idiot now reading more of the posts you guys sent. I was using a PES.22 Sterile 33mm syringe filter. I planned on using the Steritop Sterile Filter but the Hand Vacuum pump broke within a few minutes of using it.

Pictures are of the Masteron MCT @ 100 MG/ML - 45 ML - Clear with no signs of any raws.

The Tren scares me because I'm not sure the color is right based on other pictures I've seen. I followed the 1/18 and displacement per Steroid Calculator for the Tren with MCT oil as the carrier. Ended up clear but concerned because others have discussed darker Tren can mean bad Raws. Everything was from Panda.

Test Cyp -cloudy. Assuming I fucked up sterilizing the bottle? I washed it with soap - alcohol bath - distilled water bath - 350 degrees in the oven for 45 minutes with aluminum foil on top.

Here is what I have planned to refilter and questions.

1.) Ordered correct Syringe filters -Sterile Syringe Filters PVDF 25mm 0.22 um

2.) Ordered Pre-Sterilile vials 50 ml - Is this the best way for me as a newb?

3.) Is it worth buying an autoclave for sterilizing?

4.) I can toss the Test Cyp if you think it's crashed. Also, will the Test Cyp have a color to it if I used MCT?

5.) Guess I need to sit back and make a damn list before my next brew to not screw up so bad.

Appreciate all of the help @JetsFan @Heavy Iron and @Beastmode2782

I really just want to do this the right way and be absolutely safe by respecting the process.

Here's some Tren I brewed a while back. It looks good man. An autoclave is going to be pricey. I use a dry heat sterilizer. It's a steri-dent and does the job for myself. It's in the BrewPorn thread somewhere.

Why 50ml vials? Those stoppers are gonna take a beating after a while.

ok. stick with the 10ml & 20 ml then from now on? I saw a few guys using the Whatman 250 ML media bottles and was dumb enough to buy 8 of them with the self-healing Phenolic caps. Wasn't educated enough to know I would create a bigger issue by not understanding the sterilization process well enough.

That tren is

Also a pressure cooker @ 15psi/250f for 45 minutes followed by dry heat @500f for 3 hours will clean glassware to perfection.

Use a caulking gun to apply pressure to syringe and you will need to blow a few filters in order to properly gauge the force threshold lol.

Lmao thats the truth. Oh man... Oil everywhere.

Test prop in MCT is clear like water but cyp in MCT I made was very light yellow no problem with colour .

Hello
I have deca raws for the first time. This came to me (photo). When I touch it, it's solid. Should I only crush the raw material? Or will something else need to be done?

 

[hangslo]

It all looks good to me, even though I haven't brewed in a while. And you can break up the deca but that's all I ever did with it. It'll dissolve just fine.

Hey tank just curious man. How did that cyp turn out for you then? I have used ppl for years for my raws and have always loved their cyp. But last year I got an order that was packaged different than normal and most of the raws looked odd or different. Any I finally brewed the cyp a couple days ago and just out of plain curiosity I wanted to see if I could get it to crash after brewing and no matter what I do it will not crash. Has me a tad on the nervous side to pin it lol

I just got my labs back and have been taking between 550-700 mg per week for over 8 weeks and my test was only at 1500 or so with a Free test of 500+. Most everyone said that it must be underdosed. I just ordered from another source and have quality Test Prop. I’m sending my test c and masteron to a lab to get it all tested. I’ll let you know when I get the results. Hit me up in a private and ill send you the new source if you need.

You get those test results back yet for the raws you think are under dossed?

I will be running my first batch and wanted to get some insight as it seems there are a lot of different ways people go about this.

I will be using the following equipment to brew.

Magnetic Stirrer / Hot Plate - Digital
500 ml Glass Beaker
https://www.medical-and-lab-supplies.com/filtration/disposable-vacuum-filters/bottle-top-filters/500ml-whatman-zapcap-33-45mm-fitting-neck-0-22-micron.html (Whatman ZapCap Bottle Top Filter, Nylon 33/45mm neck, 0.22 um)
Hand Vacuum Pump with Pressure Gauge
Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl Benzoate
Oil (MCT)
3cc Syringe
10cc Syringe
25g-27g needle
18g Needle x2
250 ML Glass Media Bottle
Wheaton Black Phenolic 33mm Caps with attached Butyl Septa
Scale

Going to brew Test Cyp/Tren Ace / Mast Prop first with the following recipes.

Test cyp 200mg/ml 10g=50ml

1%BA=.5ml

20%BB=10ml

MCT=29.5ml

Tren Ace 100mg/ml 10g =100ml

1%BA=1ml

20%BB=20ml

MCT=69ml

Mast prop 100mg/ml 10g =100ml

1%BA=1ml

20%BB=20ml

MCT=69ml

Question 1: Any concerns/comments with these ratios?

Question 2: I have seen a lot of opinions on heating methods. Do I need to try to get each of these to the listed melting points for each compound and then cool down?

Question 3: I have seen a lot of people add/heat carrier oil first then ad BB/BA and finally add RAWS and I have seen people add RAWS first and then add everything else. Is there a correct order for adding Oils and Raws?

Any other advice for the first Home Brew that may help to make this go smooth?

Thanks

​

You'll know when it's melted and ready. I don't even use a hot plate. I put the raws in after I check weight, weigh out my MCT in another pyrex, pour it into the raws, put in heat, add BB and add in my BA toward the end. No issues thus far.
