I was reading. Some people place their oil in a oven for an hour at 250 to sterilize before brewing. Does anyone do this ? Is it needed?

That's what I have been doing. But just doing more research and someone mentioned it before . Was just curious if anyone follows that processDont need to. You sterilize it through the filter at the end of the process.
Why the hell wouldn't you buy sterile oil to begin with? It's like $50 a gallon.
With the amount of steroid shots done by the average gym rat across the US year or year. if the filter wasn't substantially enough to prevent infections. would see a much higher rate of infections among all levels of steroid users.For safety after I cap my vials I always heat them to 145F for 35 minutes. Leaving a half inch air gap between the oil and rubber stopper so I don't need a vent needle due to stopper bulge from pressure.
I will never completely trust filters on their own, some will, but having done thousands of gram stains over the years I can't bring myself to trust anything other than heat as that extra layer of security so I don't become one of those idiots that has to have a pound of meat carved out because of an abscess.
A waste of 50 bucks! I would much rather spend that on more gear and get my gallon of oil from Costco.Why the hell wouldn't you buy sterile oil to begin with? It's like $50 a gallon.
Temps like that don't ruin the gear?For safety after I cap my vials I always heat them to 145F for 35 minutes. Leaving a half inch air gap between the oil and rubber stopper so I don't need a vent needle due to stopper bulge from pressure.

No. Its sufficient to have it all go through the filter at the end. Man it would be awesome if we had some lab people in these forums to give us the crack on what the best work practices are. Cause they do sell medical grade gso..
I always just put the brew through the filter. I wash my glassware before hand and have good isolation practices but thats it
Quit correcting my posts this is a viable option and I made it clear there arent many benifits and I dont do it personally. Its really annoyingMedical grade (USP) is nothing special. It’s more “pure” which means they filtered it. Just like it gets filtered after you brew. Feel free to pay extra for it but that’s a waste of money.
