Hi @Silentlemon1011
First of all, it's an absolute honor to have you comment in my thread and most likely subsequently roast me. You're one of the big dogs here, and I'll do my best to answer as concisely and honestly as possible.
That is correct, our on hand supply is low. I have a relationship with a source who has a rapid turnaround time and I can bring in new hormones into the stable within a reasonable delay. I'm not gunning after big, established names. They can survive off reputation alone and do not need to prove anything. I do however. What I do differently is offer a 1 on 1 service to produce to a client's specifications with custom blends and carrier oils of their choice.
I did my best to price myself competitively, and can adjust furthermore. From what I have seen, all major Canadian labs are at least 5$ more expensive per unit.
On the subject of air purification,
A Honeywell HPA600B is used, which filters down to .1 microns coupled with an HRF-Z2 filter. I won't act like I'm an expert in air purification, or industry standards. This is not a GMP facility, although I do my best to keep it as sterile as possible. I turn it off during production to minimize air flow while I am in the process of brewing.
I am not gunning after the big Canadian industries, I'm a small fry who happens to be very knowledgeable and experienced with brewing, and wish to share with others at an economical rate. I know I won't win over any diehard Pareto, Citadel, Syn, or Inno fans. I'm not wishing to step on their toes either.
The angle is not flattering, but I can assure you they are all evenly filled, and can post another pic later. Then again, I can't tell what 7 inches is either
I want to give people a winning incentive to test Natty King products. 100% in store credit is nice, and you're technicallynot at a loss if you don't factor in your time, but why not motivate people with more and something that has not been done before?
I'm small potatoes around here.
Just filling in until the guys more knowledgeable than me are off their bans lol.
You may not be a proffesional at decontamination and clean air.... but I am.
Honeywell is home owner amatuer hour and wouldnt pass a DOP test.
What I'm waiting for is a
"I fucked up on my contamination procedures, what should I do"
Because you're using a crappy homeowner version of REALequipment that is almost mandatory for decontamination procedures.
You should have at a MINIMUM
1.Laminar flow hood.
or
2. A REAL DOP tested machine scrubbing air and pushing it into your lab which creates a positive pressure spacd
2A. The air movement created by your machine should flow clean air over your work space in a laminar fashion...... once your room has been fully decontaminated.
Or you can seal your doorway and create multiple one way valves throughout your lab to prevent blowing seals.
If not, have it flow on the o (I recomend "Abatement Technologies" inexpensive and recognized as the best Canadian air scrubbing systems)
Furthermore
You should have a Manometer to ensure positive air pressure within your work space.
To the tune of .02 at a minimum to allow ZERO (That's right, literally zero) contamination to enter your work space.. only clean and scrubbed air can enter the work space, with the possible exception of a single fiber at less than 2 microns.
I can say that the ither Canadian UGLs use a similar system (I just gave you the cheapest method) as they have had ZERO infection issues.
What are you going to do to rectify what I view as a serious possibility of contamination.
Furthermore
Dont give away so much information about yourself, you've narrowed yourself down heavily.
