How to get rid of water soluble impurities in raws before brewing

[master.on]

There's a thread about an @Analyzer test where raws were tainted with Sodium chloride (table salt)
Standard Raws (Analyzer) fail and a pass

There's another one about oil insoluble gunk on the bottom of the beaker
Dragon Ordnance

So to get rid of insolubilities
you'll try to dissolve raws in distilled water
steroids aren't soluble in water, so if something dissolves, they are impurities.

1 For every gram of raws, measure 10 ml of distilled water with a clean syringe, graduated cylinder or pipette. Pour both in a beaker or bottle.

2 Stir it hard for a few minutes.

3 Most (or all) powder will sink to the bottom.

4 Then you have 2 ways to separate powders from water:

4.1 Allow to sit undisturbed for a couple hours. Insoluble steroids will sink on the bottom, while water soluble impurities remain dissolved

4.1.1 Get a cooking baster, or lab pipette and draw the liquid without disturbing the sunk powders

4.1.2 Keep the moist raws, and allow to fully air dry, or warm to hasten up water evaporation. (sure some water soluble impurities remain, but it's a tiny amount)

4.1.3 Pour the drawn water in a flat pan or beaker and allow to air dry, or warm to evaporate. Then nothing should remain there. If you see lots of white powder residues, then your raws are cut with water soluble impurities, probably salt.


4.2 Get some filter paper and a funnel

4.2.1 Stir the raws+water, and pour on the filter paper

4.2.2 Recover the purified raws from the filter paper, try not to scape the paper to hard as to avoid drawing paper particles in.

4.2.3 recover the water flushed down, pour on a flat pan or beaker, evaporate water and see if some residues appear.

In case you're wondering if some valuable steroids are being flushed away in water, we need to take a look at some steroid solubilities

Testosterone no ester 23.4 mg per liter
Testosterone

Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) 9.7 mg per liter
Methandrostenolone

Long esters are the least soluble

So taking Testosterone solubility
23.4 mg per liter = 0.0234 mg / ml

If for every gram (1000 mg) of Testosterone you use 10 ml of distilled water to dissolve impurities
in those 10 ml they can dissolve 0.234 mg ( 0.0234 x 10)

Thus 1000 mg - 0.234 mg = 999.766 mg remain
that's 99.9766% remains ( 999.766 / 1000 )
so only 0.0234% Testosterone is flushed away in water. (100% - 99.99.766% )

Even less is lost with longer esters.

Please try to get lab grade filters, don't use coffee filters as they have a much bigger pore size, and some tiny steroid crystals might get flushed away.

An what if its not a water soluble impurity
