Raws quality

After many failed attempts with UGL’s *and the prices being ridiculous * I have decided to get into home brewing. Thankfully, I have a friend who is very experienced in homebrewing *7 years* he has taught me the ropes and he gave me a source to order from. A source that many people on this board, and many others are well aware of. However, I’m curious as to what exactly is the difference between all of these raw sources? Most of, if not all raws come from China, correct? Truth be told, I do not trust Purple Panda, never have.*Mainly because every blood test I have seen from them has been quite bad. 2100 ng/dl on 500 a week????*** Just wanting to know what the difference is between Panda, Dragon, ST, Dyna etc etc. if there is even any difference at all. Thanks in advance

I remember the ongoing joke from your dark net post months ago, but I’m not gonna throw any more gas. I’ll try to answer as best as I can. I’ve been satisfied with ST. I’ve never tried the other 3 but have a semi interest in Dyna. Panda and DO have too much hit or miss instances. This is all based on research.

Hit or miss as far as quality or customs catching them? The only thing I like about panda is it’s only $100 minimum. Shipping is a little pricey, but all in all, you can order a good cycle to brew for around $160-200
 
I personally have used both and found st is by far the easiest to order from. The items I ordered from her all tested well and work as to be expected. There are all just resellers but last time I looked at pandas site he is now a one stop shop, but coming across the pond has own set of risk. In stead of buying just a cycle worth at a time buy a few years worth then get it tested. Now you don't need to keep shopping around ever fee months. Once tested you know what you have actually have and can plan accordingly.
 
Dyna and ST are super easy to work with. Personally I’m not a fan of international raws. Both Dyna and ST are quick to get packs out too
I might be a retard, but is the ST site down? I was looking at older posts that gave a site link but all I'm getting is shady redirects as if the domain is up for sale. If it's down, should I email and get the new link?

Just emailed, looks like the site’s down. I’ll send them a Wickr message and start my homebrew journey:)
 
New member and new to homebrewing, looking for trusted raw source..Any help or a general "Go fuck yourself" would be appreciated..
 
Ive always wondered about storage and how that effect degradation of raws. I see a lot of sources just got the shit in bags or barrells in what looks like somebodys apartment. Ive also always that the best gurantee for your money would be to buy a large quantity enough that it comes straight from the source to your door step without anyone diluting it or opening it or storing it somewhere unsavory. Never had the money for that of course
