Is this a serious post?
Most brewers can't afford a five grand autoclave so you come up with six figures worth of equipment? WTF?
These tunnels are designed for mass production.
They sterilize 50,000+ vials a day, that's more than 1 MILLION vials a month!
Do you already sell that much?
I don't even think
-Naps good ol' days
-Med & lab supplies (empty vials)
-perhaps not even Watson T cyp sells a million vials a month
Autoclaving works wonders for small production volumes
Great
But wouldn't be easier and cheaper to buy sterile vials from TOP NOTCH companies?
No homemade Ebay vials
A fuck buddy?
Sorry couldn't resist
I realize alcohol is far from ideal.
But let's face it, most UG gear is poured in unsterile vials
so alcohol may provide a partial solution to lazy, ignorant or greedy UG brewers.
Actually some studies proved that 0.1 um filters retain some bacteria that passes thru 0.22 ones

I guess MCT will work fine thru 0.1 um
At the end you can only know by trying
I didn't find any online info for that
