No you don't need a background in chem to bro, but you do need common sense, attention to detail, patience, and basic math comprehension.

Pardon my ignorance, but here goes... I am becoming interested in powders because they are so cost effective... Mainly Test. Is this something a person with no background in chemistry can do? And if so, are there any good guides you know of?
Thank you all in advance!

Basskilleronline.com is a great place for brewing info, there's also a lot of great thread here at IMF, and over at ASF.

Thanks guys... the question seemed ignorant... Was afraid I wouldn't get help!

Basskiller made it very clear... While I have a couple reliable sources for constituded items, I have never purchased powders and I am finding very little information as to reliable sources of powder... I very much understand source checking is not allowed, and why, so please understand that I am not asking for specific sources. Can anyone direct me anywhere to ascertain the reliability and/or quality of powder providers? Has anyone had experience with cheaperpharma.com?
Thank You
It's incredibly easy. Easier than baking a cake.
If you're doing home-personal use...mix powder, oil, and solvents in a beaker. Heat it close to the melting point of the hormone, mix until dissolved.
run it through a .2 filter (syringe filter works fine but is slow), into a sealed sterile vial.
Voilla, homebrew.

^^^ you don't need to heat a hormone to it's melting point to get it into solution. I've done Test E, Test Ace, Mast Prop, Tren Ace, Testolone Ace, Bold Cyp, and NPP, all of them made it into solution at just 120 F. A lot of steroids have melting points in the upper 200's even 300's. There's just no need to heat the brew that high IMO.
Ba/BB are solvents so there is really no need to even heat it. Your putting it through a filter for sterility. All that the heat will do is speed up the time it takes to make the solute, and make it slightly easier to push through the filter.
Really all you need to do is take your time and be very clean. basskillers calc is pretty good too, especially for small batches.
Everything I say is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken seriously.
