Thinking about brewing for the first time

[Timbo]

I’ve been told it’s not all that complicated and less likely to get burned with fake product from sources.

if that’s all you know you better start studying brah cuz u have a lot to learn before you can brew

Lol that’s all I know…

In the concept of it is just a recipe that requires EXACT measurements and sterile processing then yeah it's just a recipe. Can you add X amount of G with Y amount of H then heat to a given temp for a given time? Then you just have to filter it and vial it in a sterile way (or as close as possible). Filtering is not hard, you put the oil based solution into a vacuum funnel filter then connect an air pump. Vialing can be done a couple different ways, all pretty simple provided you can wash your hands then put on gloves and proceed only to touch sterile things until you are done

Really homebrewing is the tits! Finding a source is no more complicated than finding sites that sell vials. You can go on made in China search then message anyone advertising raws. Or you can look over these message board type forums and find emails. Fyi you will need to find like twenty to email to and then you might get back a few. When you email just request a full price list. When you look at the list, if it has like super crazy availability of things not even related to regular bodybuilding and athletic cycles, then most likely they are just a middleman who works with a few different warehouses. A manufacturer would only be set up to easily switch between the hormones and esters. They can't also make HGH, HCG, peptides and SARMS. I guess they actually could make all that stuff but they would need many different labs with different equipment in each.
Really it doesn't matter if you deal with a middleman or some sort of direct outlet from the actual manufacturer, provided your middleman wants to do business then he will have the best available product to keep you coming back. They know they have to compete now so they usually deal in pretty legit quality but keep in mind it is all relative.
Usually the customer service is acceptable, it might come across as kurt but I think that is the culture difference.

Also there are plenty of online tutorials and step by step directions available so you can find a variation that fits you and your goals. But just fyi, you basically HAVE to get vacuum filters. I tried online syringe filters to do my final filter...never again, hands down the dumbest choice I made in this journey. The second dumbest choice I made was thinking a handpump would work well for the vacuum filter....again, never again. What i am getting at is spend the $40 for the simple little electric air pump. They got fancier that will do it faster but I don't care if it takes over an hour or even a couple hours for the highest concentrations, anything is better than hand pumping ALL night. And don't even get me started on the syringe filtering....

And if you have any specific questions, I'll answer whatever. I know what it feels like stumbling around in the dark trying to figure this stuff out. I got lucky in the sense that I finally got the ear of someone experienced and that made HUGE jumps in ability.

Whats so bad about the syringe filters? I thought a lot of people use them.

A syringe filter fits on a syringe. The 3 cc syringes push through easy enough but doing 3 CC's at a time until you get 100cc's done is tedious. Or you could get those big veterinarian syringes like the 60cc's, well try pushing that through, something about fluid pressure and that things is only letting drop through at a time regardless of pressure pushing. You could put the whole setup in one of those chalk guns and then just let the gun keep pressure on it ....this just made the plastic housing flex. I am sure if spent more time I could have made it work but I did not. If I recall I broke the syringe and only got half of the batch filtered, it took over four hours of sitting with it watching one drop at a time. The lesson is just buy the air pump and funnel filters, they work and they work efficiently!
