Showing off My first steroid brew without hot plate, magnetic stirrer, bottle top filter - MAST P

[carn1t9]

Hi,
I'd like to start by thanking @Ridethelightningbarefoot @Nilatac @WannaBeBIG for answering my questions from my other thread

Spoiler: What I did:

I let the raw sit along with BB & BA for about 4 days as oil took more time to reach me.

On brew day:
The mixture had some powder settled on the bottom, I was scared at the beginning.
Added 25ml oil,
Stirred it, still some visible floats.
Heated more oil to about 230F/110C
Slowly added until it reached 100ml and slowly stirred it.

And it was ready with 2,3 floatings rarely.

Used a caulking gun along with 0.2 pvdf syringe filter. Used 3 filters to filter out the entire mixture.

While transferring spilled some, ended up with 9.5 10.1 ml vials.

2 BA
18BB
9.96g Mast P powder
Remaining oil until it was 100ml.

Spoiler: This is how it looks:

Hopefully it doesn't crash, will wait for a couple of days. I noticed that it was difficult to draw if not warm.
Huge thanks to the community for the help.

You're awesome! I'm too chicken to try brewing but its always impressive to see someone figure this thing out to bring their costs way down.

Looking good! Should hold without a problem

Looks good, what carrier oil did you use? Also do you plan to cap them yourself? I assume you don’t intend to use the vials “as-is”

Sesame oil(refined). I capped them after these pics.

I’ve never pinned sesame oil, but I’ve cooked with it plenty. If it’s as thick in a vial as it is when cooking, I’m not surprised it was hard to filter

Hows it looking??

No problem, it's all clear and looking proper.

Next time I would add the calculated volume of oil. Beaker measurements are not accurate.

They are if you get a calibrated beaker like one from a reputable source

Graduated cylinder from reputable places are specifically made for measurements!! They are actually a great way to measure liquids when mixing different amounts of different liquids! Great for brewing!!

Thank you for the information. I'll put this into good use.

It was my first brew and it was for personal use. So, didn't bother buying one.

You change oil in your next batch to EO and MCT.

Anyway, congratulations for your first brew.

 

[jJjburton]

Best thing i heard was measure out the oil plain using syringes and then remarking the beaker properly.

That is why you weigh everything in grams and not mL. mL measurements are never accurate. +/- 5%
