Hello today I finally brewed the gear for my first cycle that will consist of 500mg/w of testosterone, the first 8 weeks will be cypionate then I will finish with 4 weeks of propionate.
I preferred to start small scale to get my feet wet and I decided to take pictures to document the process so that vets can give me their opinion about how I did and if I did well maybe help some other noobs.
So here's how I brewed the 20ml of test c at 18% BB/ 2% BA
So I got a bunch of raws and I stored them in individual vacuum packets each one carefully weighted to prepair 2 or 3 vials, then I've divided these packets into different zip locks for every compound finally I've put the bags in freezer boxes deep down in my freezer this way hormones will last several years
So I took out one packed of test C of 5.25g (or 20ml at 250mg/ml overdosed at 5%)
Then I prepared the other ingredients:
Time to measure out 3.6ml of BB:
After measuring the BB I've put it in a 50ml beaker and I added the hormone powder, when cold the mixture looked like sludge so I've proceded to put the whole thing on my magnetic stirrer.
While the hormone was dissolving I proceded to add a small beker of oil to warm up to make mixing easier
When the hormone was dissolved I proceded to measure 0.4ml of BA
Now adding the BA I've waited till the end to add it as it is more volatile:
After that I pulled the whole mixture in a 60ml syringe:
Then I filled up to a total volume of 20ml with GSO:
Then I've put the solution back in the beaker for the final homogenization.
Then I prepepared a sterile syringe filter and sealed sterile vial
For the filter process I've put on a pair of sterile gloves to ensure maximum sterility
Brew ready to be filtered
Filtering the gear through whatmam sterile 0.2 um pvdf filter, i used a 18g needle on the filter And a short 25g needle to vent the pressure out of the vial. I didn't use a caulk gun and filtering 20ml took me about 20 min, my fingers got a little sore but nothing crazy, if filtering more that that however I can see how a caulk gun or even bottle top filtering can be a good idea.
