Test C not dissolving

[YatesIsBased]

What am i doing wrong here? Thanks for the help.
Using an online brew calc.
100ml at 250mg/ml (25g Test-C, 50ml MCT, 25ml BB, 2ml BA)
Heated all the way up to 200f on heated magnetic stir plate.

I have ordered official USP grade BB to rule it out as the culprit for the botched brew

How are you ok with injecting some random powder? just curious.

 

[Exhortae]

Yes, I agree. Only USP grade, JIC.

I have ordered official USP grade BB to rule it out as the culprit for the botched brew. Although, I have doubts that there is any significant difference from what I used.

The BB I used does not have a USP grade but does state 99.9% pure. Of course, companies can state anything about their products, until they get sued. BTW, the photo you provided shows 99.5% pure BB, I don't see a USP grade on it, and I don't believe that a glass container is the measure of quality. However, I assume it works just fine for you.

I'm not saying what I used is gtg. I will only order/use USP grade BA/BB going forward. However, I can't seem to find a labeled USP grade MCT oil. I looked up NOW foods MCT and it does not have a USP grade. The stuff they sell/I purchased on MedLabSupply, (Vale of Eden MCT) states in their description that it is USP grade, but they don't put it on the bottle, which is strange.

Thank you.

BP is for British Pharmacopeia, like usp in America

All due respect Spaceman; Are you "just curious" or are you being just a little confrontational for some reason? lol.

First, I didn't find some "random powder" laying in a ditch and decide to inject it into my body. I purchased it from a well-known supplier that has been providing AAS to members here for a long time. I’ll post the supplier’s name when I get test results back. No, it wasn't QSC or SSA.

Second, your baseless assumption is wrong. The plan was to mix a batch and send a sample to Janoshik to confirm the substance, mg per ml, etc., prior to injecting any.

That being said, and in the interest of full disclosure, I must confess to previously injecting finished oils from UGLs without sending them in for testing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I recommend everyone test everything prior to injecting it into their body.

First it is a random powder if you don't know what it is.
Rule is to assume any of these "manufacturers" are pieces of shit

Baseless assumption? Dude you starting brewing without testing and it came out looking like regular coconut oil for cooking.

Most of these people here on this forum don't even test their raws and start tablespooning superdrol like it's God damn cinnamon toast crunch. So it's not entirely baseless

It's a lot better to test the raw instead of the finished product.

The finished product will be great if you know the purity of the raw in the ends it's just math after that

LOL! I'm not quite at that level... yet.

I will concede, going forward, I will certainly test any raws immediately upon receipt and prior to brewing, just to avoid potential delays and/or WTF moments like I had.

 

[knucklesamich]

I've not tried that. (MCT/BA/BB only) I guess I could see what happens.

Maybe the MCT or one of the other ingredients I used is sub-par. To the point it would solidify like it did, idk. I tried it twice with two different MCTs. Same results. (The BB was thicker than I expected, but this is the first time ever using it so again, idk)
Here is what I used: It says MCT on the bottle. View attachment 315647

We are tempted by bulk. Hah! Get it?
Seriously though, we are temped by good deals and that stuff you have there is quantity for sure.

Try this stuff, speaking in terms of BB/BA etc.

Already ordered it. Thank you!

You're welcome. I'm going to start ordering 3:1 BB to BA. Each brew only calls for a very little BA, and much more BB. Had a few items call for Guaiacol and Ethyl Oleate, never again. I don't think that stuff is healthy. I used to belong to an online Frat, all the recipes for that stuff at disposal, but it got to be too expensive. I just use the homebrew calculator now for the most part Calculator - Steroid Homebrew

I never heard of "online Frat."
I just searched some basic recipes here on Meso and I used the same homebrew calculator.
I'm just looking to stockpile some personal gear. Nothing exotic or too concentrated, just the basics. Hopefully save a little money and gain some confidence with testing.
....and get HUGE.

This is strictly my opinion, So if I'm wrong ,I have no problem with someone correcting me... That stuff that you have does not dissolve even remotely like it should. I have never used any fancy BB, strictly run on the mill 99.9% BB on Amazon, As soon as that water gets close to a slight boil, whatever you are mixing should turn clear rapidly, some things sooner at a lower temp or faster than others, depending on the melting point, If you have used your homebrew chemicals before successful, and that is what happened with this new batch, what you have is garbage, there's no way it is what it's supposed to be, It's either another steroid or fake. I wouldn't even consider screwing with ,throw it away and order something else.

Maybe it was the BB, MCT or the raw itself. This was my first attempt at homebrewing, so I just don't know.

I sent the raw in for testing. If it turns out to be something other than what I ordered, low purity or even if it’s exactly what it is supposed to be and I just F’d it up, I will post it on here for everyone to see. I would be doing a disservice to this community if I was to just toss it in the trash and move on.

Maybe I just didn't heat it enough? I was going off what seemed like the general consensus on this forum and how most folks don’t heat it to the actual melting point. I was expecting it to clear up at a much lower temp. so when the heated stir plate reached around 200f I stopped. Was it almost ready to clear up, idk.

I have a couple of other raws that I could try, but I’m waiting on their test reports from Janoshik and the new USP grade BB, BA and MCT before I make another attempt.

Test e is the easiest in my opinion for your first time learning to brew,it will melt between your fingers if it's pure,so it takes very little heat,tren ace and test cyp have higher melting points,so it usually takes more time,more heat and stirring,once it starts to clear up I usually pull it out of the pan of water and just stir or put a lid on and shake. I found it helps to mix all the chemicals first and bring them up to temp then add the raws,they are subjected to less heat and chance of damage,I can't think of the proper term of what they call that,but less heat is always better.

water? assuming you mean oil.


Should checking boiling point of BA/BB


its over 200 degrees celsius. shouldnt even need to reach it.

only thing I see turn into jello is winstrol when I tried to make it with just BB.

I use a double boiler ,with a sterile mason jar and a lid, I mix everything in the mason jar and sit it down in a pan of water on the stove, bring all the chemicals up the temp,add the raws,put the lid on and shake,swirl,whatever, I never heat it directly. I bring the water almost to a boil, I would never bring the chemicals anywhere near a boil,lol If that's what you're talking about.

 

[Mac81]

I've never needed more than two hundred degrees which is just below a boil for anything that I have brewed, perhaps there's some stuff that need more heat but nothing I ever made

Hell yeah bro, get it! You've almost got this part down, at first I thought you might have been given something else, but I think it's just the organic mct or something like that. Once your ingredients come in, there's a very good chance it's going to turn out proper.

The way I was taught, you can almost use no heat at all, but it would take a long time, heat expedites the compound going into solution, but I use as little as possible to prevent damaging the compound. Once all the grains of powder are gone, that's it, time to filter. Slow too, some of these filters will break if you apply too much pressure, you'll know it too-- drip drip drip, then all the sudden GUSH!

I've been doing this over a decade ,It's very simple, I just don't see a reason for it, Yeah it would be cool, But I don't really see a reason to spend the money on it.

hmmm, where have i seen this before.
