Brewed shelf life?

[AntonVPower]

How long does brewed gear last and still maintain its potency? If I am brewing for personal use can I get away with brewing several 50ml vials and just drawing off of them as needed or am I better off just brewing small batches at a time and storing the raws instead?

stick with 10 or 20ml vials. 50ml vials aren't a good choice.

Make sure you leave a good amount of airgap between the oil and the bottom of the stopper. Store them upright so the oil doesn't touch the stopper. Keep them completely from light, keep them cool.

I actually brew mine in 5ml vials so I access the rubber stopper the least number of time so I don't have a problem with coring the stopper into the oil.

50ml vials is what I use when I sterilize my oils, I'll used that if I need to cut a hormone to dose it right or reduce pip.

Aim to use all your brew in 3 years.

Damn bro, that was helpful response. So the idea is not to be working out of the vial so much that the rubber deteriorates and ends up in the oil? I hadn't thought about that.

How cool is cool? I have mechanical closet that isnt heated but stays like 40F year round, is that to cold? Also does the temp or shelf life matter between compounds? Im thinking mainIy test/tren ace/npp/ and inj var. Im eating up all I can about brewing right now and don't want fuck up.

I tend to view short ester compounds as having longer shelf life. Tren though is a delicate hormone and I'd use it all up in 2 years. NPP would have no problem making it 3 years, test is the same but could make it even longer.

40F is refrigerator temp. I have no problem with that at all.

I actually store my vials in schedule 40 PVC 1.5" pipe with endcaps. Keeps it away from light and seals up air tight and you'll never worry about vials getting damaged. I put each vial in a pill bag ziplock with a code to ID the vial, I never have my gear labeled with names just incase the cops happen upon my stash.

Great bro appreciate the help. That capped pvc pipe is a gem. I may holler at you again if I run into trouble brewing my 1st batch
