Best Recipe Calculator?

[Engineer]

Any recommendations on the best calculator that takes into account the different displacement factors of different gear/esthers?

The calc on basskiller is what most and myself use. Gets the job done.

Test prop - .909/ g
Test enth- .943/g
Test cyp- .909/g
Test decan- .962/g
Npp- .885/g
Tren ace- .848/g
Tren e- .909/g
Nandro deca- .962/g
Mast p- .935/g

Thats all i can think of off hand , but i posted a full list somewhere in one of these threads , ill have to look around for it . I should have just boommarked lol

Use those and basskiller or just an actual calculator works fine too.... just multiple whatever particular hormone your brewings displacement value by the total number of grams of hormone your using for your brew . Then subtract that number from the amount oil left over after your ba/bb is added and that will give you your total oil volume that needs to be added . That's basically all a steroid calculator does is idiot proof that equation.

You guys don't need to worry about displacements at all, not even big-pharma does that.
First pour just about half the required oil,
then add BA, BB, gear as required
and then TOP IT OFF with oil to the required volume.

Best if you use a volumetric flask for accurate final volume

Again, that's what big-pharma does, topping it off.

My initial thoughts were that this would be the best and most accurate way of doing things. In fact, I actually used this approach for my first brew of Test E. About how much of this volume can one expect to be lost through the process of filtration?

Yeah thats good if your making anything in 100,150,250,500ml increments ... but if your making something in between those volumes knowing displacement values is your most accurate alternative method.

I say (never measured it)
Syringe filters lose about 3 ml
Vacuum filters about 5-7 ml
Let's see what others say.

The same: top it off
there are 10 ml volumetric flasks if you want, they are tiny and sometimes odd shaped

PYREX® Micro Class A Volumetric Flasks

and you can always use a small graduated cylinder for topping-off

Graduated cylinder - Wikipedia
Use graduated cylinders just for measuring (and some mixing) but don't warm them, most aren't heat resistant.
