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.

Sweet! So your raws are good. Thank God there's more retarded people here than just myself .

Let's get to brewin, you just need good, pharma grade carrier oil and you're ready to go. I'm anxious to see how it turns out.

Side note: I see you have some NPP there, see Sampei's brewing bible (up at the top of the threads) for maximum potency, it is notorious for crashing. I brew mine at 200 mg/ml, and it crashes, I expect it to, I just heat it up and bring it back to solution every time. Aside from potency, it seems there's little you can do about it. We even brewed in pure BB once, well a buddy of mine did, @200 it still crashed lol

Yeah NPP sooner or later will crash but 200mg PIPless it's awesome

I used 35% BB in castor oil last time, let's see how it will be. I'll check it in few days

I did get all the pharma grade BA/BB/MCT. I'll try it again tomorrow.

I had never worked with BB so I wasn't sure what to expect but assumed BB is BB. However, I was suspicious of how thick it was.
Yesterday I checked the difference between the non-pharma BB against the pharma stuff, and sure enough, the pharma grade was much thinner.
This other BB is like syrup. I'm thinking this was the issue.

Bro BB is super thin like if you draw it in a syringe and put the syringe with the needle facing down, it almost escape out of the syringe, if you slightly touchy the barrel it squeeze our instantly

These vacuumed filters screw right on.

Still need to transfer to 10ml vials.

How so you sterilize the media bottle. Pressure cooker?

Does it really matter if its USP grade (or not)?
I see that yours is for fragrance cosmetic hair and scalp..

Ive pretty much bought everything i need except USP ba/bb....And now I'm stuck either having to pay for shipping for it or to buy a huge overpriced bottle somewhere..

They come sterilized, so I haven't tackled that part yet. I'll research my best options and go from there.

Apparently yes, it 100% matters. It was the catalyst for this thread.
I was able to purchase 50ml bottles of BA & BB at MedLabSupply.

A pressure cooker with auto clav bags would be the way to go. At least as far as running goes. It's almost fool proof.

Once sterilized, they should stay sterilized up to six months as long as you keep them out of moisture. I personally vacuum seal the autoclave bags after they're dried out and After I spray them with alcohol

I use them too....that's what i meant by having to pay the shipping fee...having trouble hitting the min spend for the free ship since I've already bought everything previously..

Alot of stuff on their website is also out of stock which i found to be pretty interesting

How do you dry the autoclaved sterile bag. Oven?

 

[YatesIsBased]

Wouldn't these disposable bags work for pressure cooker sterilization?

I got a specialized dehydrator that I keep really clean. Dries the bags pretty quickly.

Yes, they work, but the key is make sure they're facing the right side and also it's good to just seal them up if they have tape before you put it in the pressure cooker. And when you do use the pressure cooker, make sure it gets to the correct temp. You want to make sure they're floating in a grate inside the pressure cooker and never let them touch the water. You want only the hot steam. Of course, it's impossible to know if it's even touching the water when it's closed up, but if you got it, floating with a metal grate, you're good to go.
