First time homebrewing

[narta]

Do you use the caulking gun or do it just by pushing the plunger of the syringe by hand?

Caulking gun

 

[Cyp93]

Hello everyone,
I've studied and keep studying to attempt homebrew. Read the guides here on several threads and on other sources.
I'd like to brew a classic TE 250 mg/ml (hope not to regret because of the PIP rumors, but it's my favorite ester), using sesame oil, BA and BB.
Bought and gathered all the equipment (becher, glass rod, hot plate, sterile vials, sterile filters, different sizes syringes and needles, caulking gun, sterile gloves and cloth to manipulate everything during the filtration phase).
Since it's my first attempt, any particular suggestion for a newbie?
I wonder what's the best quantity to begin with, I mean not too little so that it's difficult to calibrate everything, not too much because of the risk of messing things up.
Moreover, how much time should I consider I will be engaged considering all the process? Need this to know to schedule the attempt and being able to do without disturbances.
Thanks everyone for the replies

What is BA & BB im super new ok homebrewing.
Thanks.

Thanks.

They're Benzyl Alcohol and Benzyl Benzoate respectively.
Keep on reading and studying before attempting homebrew, you need to handle basics at least not to mess things up

Thanks i will do it!

Raw will be QSC T Cipionate.
I will spend arround 450€/500€ for a 10 years TRT incluiding utilities.
Testosterone Cream with DMSO and T Base are 50% cheap.

Buy sterile vials. More convenient for small users

Yes, its convenient but tell me, how can i, sterilize a pined vial?

What? The vial is already capped and sterile. You insert syringe filter with needle and an extra needle to let air out.

Ok so you heat the mix to +100ºc to sterile, then you cold a little bit maybe 50ºc?, filter and straight to the vial right?

No.
You just filter the oil in that sterile vial and pin when you need it

Lasts questions I've read are the perfect example of what I mean when I say "you should study before attempting homebrew"... Everybody started somewhere asking questions, but I think that someone should start from a solid base searching and learning by himself to be familiar with this topic

Not need it to sterile the brew? So you cook until its clear, filter and straight to the vial? In some thread i read its needit to grow up the temp to +100º.

You sterilise the solution by filtering it. Hitting something like deca or test e to 100 can damage it. You can filter at 50 because it will pass through faster

No need. A 0.22 micron filter will remove any bacteria. Just be sure your syringe filter is sterile and everything that is attached to the other end

Then what's the point of filter the oil?

I thought to remove impurities... perhaps metals or other non-organic materials.

you are correct but filtering removes everything. Try to use usp grade stuff.

I will use the products that you see in the files and olive oil 100% from a supermarket.

You can order USP grade carrier oils for cheap. Instead of olive oil from the supermarket.

What's the problem with market oil?

It’s not USP grade as I mentioned
Many people use food grade and believe that filtering it is enough. But they make USP grade for pharmacological use and for injections for a reason. The refinement process is different. For something so cheap it is silly not to use USP. 100ml of either Cottonseed or GSO is $14 or less
