I sort of agree with the sentiment. While the information is readily available, the way some people go on about the NEED to setup clean rooms and some of the other over the top things for personal homebrewing, creates a barrier of entry for some people when starting out and they just don't proceed.
I'm all for cleanliness... But some people want to make it WAY more complex then it actually is.
BRO: "Dude. why not just buy your gear from a reputable lab that regularly posts test results along with blind tests from customers? It's simple and cheap. You could even buy a couple kits and send a sample to Jano for comprehensive testing, and still be ahead, especially when you consider the equipment and your time...."
HOMEBREW BRO:: "Ugh! Are you kidding me?? How do I know they're doing things properly? Are they testing for bacteria or endotoxins? No way am I taking any chances with my health."
BRO: "Where do you send your raws and finished gear for testing?"
HOMEBREW BRO: "Lol what that's too expensive and unnecessary, I know what I'm doing."
BRO: "What about sterilizing your equipment? What do you use for that?"
HOMEBREW BRO: "I can see it's clean, so no need."
BRO: "What about your vials and stoppers? Do you autoclave them or use one of those $89 sterilizing ovens?"
HOMEBREW BRO: "Don't be stupid, I use these pre-sterilized vials."
BRO: "From Sigma Aldritch, or some other USP grade lab supply?"
HOMEBREW BRO: "Hahah, you're such a noob, I get them from Amazon, same place I get my 'Pharma grade' oils, BB, BA, and filters. Guaranteed 100% sterile. Duh."
BRO: "Then how do you know what you're making is any better??"
HOMEBREW BRO: "Do I look infected to you? Now I need to lay down, that last batch of Test-E gave me some wicked PIP. I really know how to brew some strong shit!"
