My first brew (test C)

[SidneyPascal]

Once you go bottle top you'll never go back to syringe filters. Only time I do is if I have left over brew and I cap it in an unsterile vial the .I syringe filter into a sealed sterile vial.

I don't know as long as I'm brewing 30-50ml once each 3-4 months I can't see the hassle of sterilizing being worth it.

Idk why uk Amazon popped up on my browser... But I think that's it

that's the exact one I use and I got it from amazon to and am from the uk

So thought I'd give a little update, I've been pinning the gear made in this thread for almost 7 weeks and it's been absolutely painless, the gains in the mirror and the scale are also definitely noticeable.
I'm going to have blood drawn next week I'll give you an update with the results.

What if one doesn't have a magnetic stirrer to help heat and mix. Could one use the oven or stove? Looking to brew test C in the next few weeks.

A small electric stove, a glass stirring rod and a little elbow grease will do it for sure

Holy shit! Why did you spend so much money on the stirring hotplate?

As previously said I already had it as I use it for other things

So back about 10 years ago (last time I did my own) people would talk about putting a little water in a pan when using your stove. Do you know longer need to put a little water in a pan when hearing your oil?

By the way great thread and looks like you did an amazing brew

Thanks bro, well it did it's job

I wouldn't risk contaminating the gear with water. Except for tren temperatures required to damage hormones are probably higher than what people think, setting the stove on low heat will do it fosha.

Do not use water

Hey folks!

Syinge filtering was still a pain in the ass even with the caulk gun so I came up with this it does a pretty decent job.



It's a bit slow though so I'm considering a vacuum filtration setup for future brews.

Talk about idle filtration set up right there. Well done fam haha

Doesnt it just go as fast as the needles gauge will allow?

18G seems to be the norm for filtration so I don't think that's the limiting factor, it rather depends on the amount of pressure applied on the plunger.

From what I have read, in several different forums, the speed is determined by the oil used, the filter specification (.2micron or .45micron for example), and then the pressure on the plunger. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I think that's pretty much it, also warm oil is less viscous so that can help, another thing is using a syringe with a smaller barrel but that's some basic hydraulics.

 

[ickyrica]

Factors determining the speed at which the oil passes through the filter are:

-Amount of active compound being filtered
-type of oil
-temp of oil
-type of filter
-size of needle
-size of syringe
-force used on syringe

Pascal's law is going to be the biggest factor.
