Solvent and oil amounts

[OzSwole7812]

Ok, so I've done lots of searching and found many different posts and many different recipes. Most of them are similar on BA and BB amounts and very good info on why those amounts. But what I am not getting is the amount of carrier oil, I'm thinking about using MCT oil and I want to make sure I'm using the correct amount. I've order my Raws and I'm going to make a sustanon blend, ordered the different Raws in the appropriate amounts so now I just need some help on how to determine the proper amount of carrier oil, I plan to brew 100mls of sustanon at 250mg/ml.

You first need to know how much you want to make...

For argument sake (everyone does it different)

U want 200 ml of test E at 250mg/ml with BB 20% and BA 2%

BB is 40ml
BA is 2ml
50g of test E (displacement .943ml per gram) ((some ppl work it out less to make up for impurities)) 50x 0.943= 47.15ml

So add all them up and then minus it from 200ml and thats how much carrier oil you need 108.85ml (109ml lol)

Hope you understand

Sorry BA is 4ml not 2ml

Im planning on doing 100ml of sustanon at 250mg/ml. So I need to also determine the displacement of each hormone? I figured it was just adding up all the compounds to equal the amount I want. I've just seen so many different amount and there seems to be no reason for the variants but the way you describe it makes a lot of sense, thank you. Do you have a reference for how much each hormone displaces?

Google "steroid calculator - basskiller" also has the displacements for popular compounds including Tren

Don't calculate displacement of your hormones. Simply measure out 100ml exactly in a beaker and mark the line. Empty and dry the beaker. Mix powder, BA, and BB in beaker. Full carrier oil to the line you marked.

 

[OzSwole7812]

Thanks guys, this definitely clears everything up for me. I'll let you guys know how it turns out when I get everything in

 

[Big_poppa_Bren]

Why have I not thought of this?

I always use the same beaker aswel, will be doing this next on my next brew.

Cheers

This is actually what i do aswell to be honest, i just thought i would explain the way i always read

 

[OzSwole7812]

I kind of figured it was that simple but wanted to be on the safe side and make 100% sure I'm doing it right. So this reminds me of another question I had. From the research I've done it seems that it's agreed upon that you do 2% BA solution to ensure a sterile solution, too much and it could cause painful injections lasting for a while and 18% BB. I've read a few post where people say that's too much BB. What are your guys' opinions on what proper amounts of BA and BB are?

 

[Big_poppa_Bren]

1% BA
BB is dependant on the brew. For the likes of test E you don't need any for concentrations of up to 250mg/ml

 

[OzSwole7812]

Ok, what's a good method to determine amount of BB for a sustanon brew and why only 1% BA?

 

[Big_poppa_Bren]

The amount of BA for any brew will always be the same 1/100

Pharma uses 0.9 BA. So there's no reason to add more. The BA is used to KEEP the brew sterile. More is not better, the important part is the filtering.

The benchmark for BB is 18, and is a good amount for sus since it has prop in there

Thanks for all the helpful info, I knew this was a good forum to get the info I needed.

 

[Big_poppa_Bren]

Just keep reading and asking questions until your sure. There's a lot of experienced homebrewers here who have done it all.

Just remember that the BA is only to stop shit growing in your brew while its in the vial... U must use a sterile proccess the whole way thru to have a sterile brew. goodluck

What mg/ml (concentration) sustanon are you planning on. 20% is honestly going to serve you better with higher concentrations especially with a bunch of short ester in there. It will be crowded.
There is nothing worse than looking at pile of vials that look like they are full of rock candy a week after you brewed them.

100ml total at 250mg/ml

brew it and sit on it for a few days and see its going to hold.

Definitely, this will be for my next cycle, I'm currently on my third right now and just tired of spending so much on my cycles.
