Homebrew effectiveness?

[Obeast88]

Well been questioning just brewing my own for a while now and for a few friends and acquaintances. With the price of oils these days from a few vendors is it cost effective ba just buying them and refitting the finished oils already. Or is it just a hobby to most you all now and do it for the process experience and fun. Really want to pull the gun on brewing small 500-1000ml batches just to have on hand for us but the cheap price of all finished products these days have kind of turned me away thus far. I think it would be an enjoyable process plus the fact you know what’s in every bottle for sure. What would you say it is costing to make a bottle of test, sus, deca, tren, mast and so on including the raws, sterile bottles plunger, and caps(everything excluding the decent equipment). Thanks for any input.

I was just writing you my thoughts.
Obviously it's not about you.....
It was more in response to other stuff that has been written in homebrewing posts that I have seen, recently

Oh sorry lol. As you can see, I am slow maybe I need a peptide for noticing the obvious hahaha.

Anyway, yeah people have weird outlooks on home brewing, obviously I started it to save because of the huge mark ups back then. Nowadays, where prices are very competitive because of our Chinese friends, people can just buy kits of everything like candies.

@Obeast88 you should have a look at @dirthand 's brew log.
He has recently started doing it and it looks fab.
He would certainly be able to tell you about his personal experience and opinion.
I think that if you train, use different compounds and you plan on keep doing so in the future, it would be worth it.
But the time and effort it would require also need to be considered.
You have to be able to keep things super neat.

Thanks I will look into it. I just seen the thread earlier today and almost clinked the link lol. I def want to do it more so than not but everything plays a factor like other members mentioned. Anonymity is a huge one in a house full of children that don’t need to see nor hear. I want it to be clean and sterile as can be if I’m to do it also so they’re just a lot of variables I’m having to take into account if I really want to succeed. But I’m taking the precautions I need to do so just incase and going to acquire the right equipment that I feel will be suitable for a nice setup after reading through a lot of threads.

If you are Brewing just for your own consumption.
Why not get the 50 Ml. Vials, instead of the 10 Ml.

I used to brew just for myself, and I used the 50 Ml. Vials.
For me personally, it made things easier.
Just a thought..................... JP

Yeah I didn’t think about that I could just do a few of those at a time. But how long do the stoppers last having to poke it that many times?

It depends on the size of the Needle you put through the Stopper.
I don't use anything larger than a 25 G to fill my syringe.
So, I've never had an issue with the Stopper breaking and creating floaters.
Some guys use a Garden Hose, like 23 G and that will bust up your stopper fast............... JP

its my opinion that a 100ml media bottle with a open top lid and a silicone septa is where it is at. then draw out of that into a 10 or 20 ml sterile vial for daily use. the 50ml vials are just to big for daily use in my opinion but if you dont mind the bigger bottle you can use a vial spike adapter and then you do not have to worry about draw needles.

I used to create floaters since I’m impatient and use 20g. But since I started backloading my pins, I finish a bottle without poking it 20x now lol.
