So after lurking round here for a while and doing a lot of reading on this topic I have decided am gonna get into homebrewing and really just looking to make sure I got everything I need got my source sorted for getting all my raws and do have a website that has all my stuff I need for the supply's but my problem with it is the delivery is really pretty expensive it's around £75 so if anyone knows anyone cheaper than med lab supply's for the uk would be much appreciated if you could help me I'll post pictures below of all the stuff I plan to use making up a few tabs as well of different stuff I plan to just use the syringe filter this first time and see how it goes and if it all goes well and my stuff holds I'll then be getting a hand pump and the filter in the picture below am going to be making test e at 250mg per ml using grape seed oil as my carrier gonna have 1% ba and wasn't gonna use any BB as seen on the sticky that you don't need any at 250ml to get it to hold so I'll try without it and see how it goes mix the product together apply heat make sure it's fully dissolved let it cool down till it's just warm not hot or cold just allowing it to sit on the pan while cooling down then draw out into a syringe gonna see what the biggest size I can get at the pharmacy is then put syringe filter on shove in my sealed stearile vile put green needle in to vent and put pressure on liquid to fill vial wait for 2 days to make sure it holds then bang it into my quad also going to be making some anavar tablets and some nolvadex and some clomid and gonna make some mixed nolvadex and clomid tablets as well also when am placing my beaker on the heat I have a gas hob will invest in a digital hot plate later if this goes well but for the mean time do I just sit a empty pot on the gas hob and put the beaker in the pot and put the heat on or am I better placing a small amount of water to the pan

These will all be okay to use right? And i can only pass through 30ml of fluid before I should change that filter correct? Am gonna just buy my open vials to and cap them myself
Also what your though on after it's all be sterilised I want to keep the foil over the empty vials and wanted to piece though the foil and inject the liquid in and then quickly put the stopper on and seal it but won't that little bit of foil get into the vial or into the syringe and I'll then inject it in will I be okay keeping the foil on it and when am ready quickly take it of fill the vial and then just quickly putting the stopper on ? Also that grape seed oil will be okay cause it's going to get filtered anyway right ?

If it's for personal use you can pierce stopper with syringe needles while oil passes thru syringe filters.
That allows you to use pre-sterilized vials

Otherwise you'd need a clean, and preferably sterile chamber to transfer filtered oil from bottles to vials as cleanly as possible.

It is for personal use but also for a friend and so I don't want any needle going through the stopper so what's your thoughts on piercing through the foil I have over the vials when they come out the oven and injecting through the foil with syringe filter and then as soon as it's done remove foil and cap it quick that's all I can think of to allow the smallest time frame for the vial to be open without having one of they diy boxs
 
Why not filtef i to into a sealed 50ml vial then you can pull out of it using a 12ml syringe. Put 10.5-11 ml of oil in the sterile vial and then cap. No need going through foil and risking tearing even a small piece off
 
Yea I wouldn't do foil, but up to you, i just quickly cap. Grape seed oil is fine, I use regular oil from the grocery store. And I do more than 30mls on a filter but around the 30ml Mark it starts getting harder to push. At 60mls it's super slow, so it's up to you and how many filters you have on hand
 
GSO as a carrier with no BA will be super thick and hard to push through a filter. 100ml through a syringe filter seems to be the popular number people are using them for. I filled vials uncapped and it took some time, immediately capped after done. I have a very clean area I brew in, but not sterile clean room type of clean. Dust free and zero airflow. Wear a surgical mask and gloves, clean clean clean work area and youll be fine.

Ye my area is already super clean but will all be cleaned down with disinfectant wipes prior to it and all allowed to stand for 30mins with vents and doors all closed to allow to settle and it will have ba it just won't have the BB as I read it's not needed for 250 for it to hold and reduces pip and the amount of solvent going into the body

Sorry I meant with no BB. BB helps thin out the oil also, and GSO is viscous. Look into MCT as a carrier with no BB.

Either you can make a glovebox yourself to cleanly transfer filtered oil to vials

Or you can create a clean environment using a large plastic bag (preferably sterile), gloves, even a wire frame to make the bag hold shape.

Cheap and effective, huh?

Hmm ye I got my stuff ordered can't wait to start and for my first time am not wanting to spend to much on the supply's am worried incase it doesn't workout but if it does then for sure I'll look into buying a box like that but I think I might try the plastic bag over the top maybe just a big white bun liner bag rippled so it's flat wiped down with disinfectant wipes and placed over the top but not sure how much it will actually help considering how fast I'll do it and since all vents and doors will be closed over and face mask wore
