Brewed up a littl batch of test in MCT. Love how thin it is, first pin tonight. Hopefully no more green stuff for me.
Bro, where did you get your vial crimping tool, vials, stoppers, caps from?
Thanks,

Vials stoppers and caps from medlabsupply, caps are translucent purple.
Crimping tool just found a cheap one on eBay nothing high dollar, works well though.

Gotcha.. Let me ask you this: since the vials are open and not obviously sterile how do you go about sterilizing them? Do you put in the oven? Up to this point I've just been ordering sterile vials from medlabsuppy that already have stopper on them. However, now I have friends that want some of my gear bc they see results I've had.. But, they are hesitant to buy without the damn plastic caps on them. Hence, is my reason asking about crimper tool etc. Honestly, I feel like there's more chance of contamination since the vial is exposed to air before putting gear into them and then crimping them..Even, if you sterilize them in oven etc, they are still exposed/open to air if even for a short period of time.

There's no such thing as 100% sterile in home brewing but for our needs we can get sterile enough. Everyone's got there own way about doing it but I just clean the vials with soap and water, rinse in distilled water, rinse in alcohol, rinse foil in alcohol and cover vials then bake at 450 for about 1.5 hours. I've made a little over 100vials and myself and friends have never had any problems with sterility or infections. Much easier to fill the open vials too, think of when you crack open an amp, its exposed also but as long as you're in a clean environment the chances of contamination are low.

Thanks man!! 1 more question lol, I'm using .2 um syringe filters to filter. I can make 50 - 60 ml at a time putting the 60 ml syringe in a paint caulking gun.. However, it's still not very easy even when using the caulking gun and MCT as carrier oil.. I'm looking into other filtration methods such as whatman bottle top or something maybe even better. Do you have any suggestions? What do you use?

Bottle top is 100% easy bro But you need to buy a glass media bottle because the one that come with the bottle top is plastic and break really easy
I bought one on eBay like the one ur talking about works fine
With a whatman 0.2 um u can do 100ml

What @darkmarine said. Any bottle top on a glass media bottle is good. You can get a septa cap for the bottle to draw out of so it's not exposed to air as much and sterilizing the media bottle is the same process I explained for the vials.

Your stash looks like mine. I pulled one of those ziploc bags out of my safe once that had like 35 bottles of test in it and I dropped it. About 5 or 6 bottles broke and the whole bag was oily.Stash is a little light right now but still respectable ...View attachment 94107

Ive been using these thicker stubby vials lately and theyre durable as shit . You could bounce them off the cement and they dont break lol. Ive had cts from growth for like 5 months straight and drop shit constantly lol, so i feel your pain ...Your stash looks like mine.

Theyre called "headspace" vials . You can get them at ezvialz(dot)com .. No theyre pretty cheap if you buy them unsterilized , i think 40cents/vial .
The nice thing is you fill them right to the bottom of the neck they are 10ml . So you can just fill to them by eye with a big pipette and not have to worry about there being any uneven fill levels.. save alot of time that way!

No unsterilized , ive got an Autoclave . I had to get it to sterilize my bottle top dispensers. But if you brew alot of gear you might as well buy an autoclave anyways because the mark up on sterilized vials adds up quick , itll save you money in the long run .
Edit : or just sterilize with a sterile bath and dry heat , but either way pre sterilized vials are a rip off . They tax the shit out of you for them , i may just be a bit frugal but i wouldnt spend tbe money on them..
