Powder Mixing

[Iron Vett]

Fair enough...... and you do have it right it’s not just for me, as I said it’s for me and the other people in my circle.... that’s why I said I wanted to make sure my doses are correct. Your contraption sounds like it would work. My intention is to keep costs down for sure, for me and my friends, so we can get clean, safe, correctly dosed gear..... we all have interests in the cost of the setup. So I don’t feel it’s “not a true home brewer” just because someone has a desire to be good at something. That’s like saying someone who studies biology, anatomy and physiology, to better understand the bodies response to training stimulus, for the purpose of creating a more efficient and effective training regimen, is not a true bodybuilder or gym rat cuz they must be wanting to run a gym since they aren’t cool with half assed bro science...... your logic is flawed. The thing that is wrong with many people is they aren’t willing to sacrifice anything to be good at what they do. They just do the same thing for years and put little to no effort into advancing their skillset. This is not a person I would call passionate about what they do. If your saying a true home brewer is someone that finds the easiest and cheapest way to do shit, who is not willing to ask questions and explore possible ways to become better at their hobby, and who is ok with mediocrity, well, I’d STRONGLY disagree with that.
Your essentially saying a desire for knowledge and perfection makes one less of a true home brewer than you.
My personal opinion is if your not willing to put out the effort to do something correctly, especially when it’s something that can have drastic health effects if done incorrectly or carelessly, your just a lazy meathead trying to save money on gear...... and I’d go out on a limb and say If the above description is accurate that same person is more than likely on gear in the first place cuz they wanted to half ass their training and still see results rather than the guy who trained his heart out and reached genetic potential before deciding to explore the AAS world.
And to address your comment about keeping costs down while trying to run a larger operation, the costs associated with quality production are negligible compared to the profit margin, I think a home brewer should be quite aware of that. Penny pinching on a setup is pointless. Additionally I would hope someone in the process of trying to open a large scale operation would be smarter than to publicly request advice on the topic.

But, Your peanut butter jar idea is a very good idea and perfect for what I need. I’m still curious of its ability to accurately mix, the v mixers are designed to achieve homogeneous mixtures, they also don’t spin very fast cuz the centrifugal force involved in high speed rotation would keep the powder from mixing. 60rpm sounds like an appropriate speed. I’ll probably give it a shot and send a handful of caps for testing to see it’s accuracy.. BUT, it sounds like a very promising idea.... How do you know about this gem and why wouldn’t you have shared that in the first place, Champ?
I think you took a leap there assuming I was here to look for a cheap way to open a new lab, very defensive there, Tiger... I’ve noticed over time that people who steal, always assume people are shoplifting, people who deal drugs always think that random car is a drug deal, my point is your brain takes you where you know the layout..... and why are you threatened even if I was interested in the ins and outs of lab operation? Why would that threaten “a true home brewer” like you. Why would that make me worse of a person than any of the other hundreds of labs that try to operate here..... the answer lies with intent. YOUR true intent.....
So what’s your labs name? Don’t worry bro, I’m not competition. Honestly someone looking for the cheapest way to do something should be relieving to you, it is the clear sign I am not competing with you or other labs...... I couldn’t very well show MESO a picture of my lab with a peanut butter tumbler and my home made flow hood and assume I wouldn’t get torn to pieces.....

Thank you for contributing a relevant piece of information! Very happy to see progress was made!!! Not sarcastically at all..... sincerely!

Nope. A true home brewer is brewing for himself. Once you start brewing for anyone else, you’ve become a small UGL because now you are taking other people’s safety and health into your hands. Nothing wrong with that either. In fact it’s is what most people do. So good luck in your endeavors and good health to you and your friends.

Any one have any thoughts on the best way to evenly mix filler with active ingredient prior to capping? Is there any equipment or process that would help accomplish this (that isn’t a thousand+ dollars)?

thanks everyone....

Mortar and pestal. Geometric dilution.

Ya, I disagree. It’s only a ugl if it’s for profit.... if everyone involved is fully aware of the process and steps involved and each persons opinion and input and sometimes money goes into increasing safety protocols or maybe sometimes not, but if there is no business name, no intent for expansion, no marketing nor promotion, equal shares and equal investment, it’s not a ugl, it’s actually more accurate to describe it as a co-op. but to each his own, tomato tomoto. And although I totally disagree with your analysis of my intentions and with your opinion that a true home-brewer isn’t allowed to help their friend, I do appreciate your friendly words at the end.... it just seems your putting a pretty specific definition to home brewer, so if you home brew beer and you share with you friends, does that make you a brewery? But i think we’ve already discovered we don’t see eye to eye with our philosophical ideologies, so no need to beat a dead horse. I’m gonna put that idea to the test, that’s exactly what I was looking for, something like that. An idea, something I could use as a jump off to figure out a way for it to work for me, a starting point. I had never even considered something like that cuz I’m not very crafty person. So that’s why I asked.....

And while it is VERY annoying when someone jumps into a conversation without knowing the premise, I will admit, I have a tendency to jump down people’s throats and overreact to shit..... sooooooo, my bad In the end your contribution was exactly what I was looking for.....
