homebrew powder

Ultimatley I suppose there is no way to be 100% certain.
We hope the filter will act like a hose for example...ifyou run water through a hose which is already full of water the water in front will go through before the water in back will.
This being the case we assume the oil in gear which is in front will go through first.
Either way I would rather have a 3% dilution than lose 3ml total.
And 3% dilution would mean no gear at all was flushed through.
Since I'm relatively certain at least some will go through if not all we are talking about a pretty small %...like perhaps 1% dilution.

I can agree with that. I always over dose by 3-5% to offset any impurities anyway. Who knows what it will do, maybe the stuff in the middle will come through but leaving extra gear on the sides of the filter. It's a tough call.

I guess the moral of this is that I think you want to keep the oil that you flush with at a low % in relation to the overall volume so that if it doesn't get all of the gear, you haven't diluted it too much.

made 2 brews of test prop..
1st was 2ba/20bb and gso... pain is 5-6
2nd was 2ba/20/bb 50/50 eo/gso same pain????
any suggestions..... as to why there is not less pain with eo mix..

 

[SloppyJ]

What's the dosage? Sounds like you're sensitive to prop.

 

[gmta99]

no pain day of inject.. day after and the next is a little worse..

 

[gmta99]

100mg/ml

 

[SloppyJ]

Just the nature of the beast bro. Have you tried mixing it with other gear you're on? Or cutting it with GSO to see if it helped? What made you think the EO would cut down on pain?

 

[gmta99]

prop only.. have not tried cutting it.. I heard on here that Eo help's with pain..

 

[gmta99]

its the quad shot that is the worst.. delts no problem, glutes are 3-4 pain

 

[SloppyJ]

Do you shoot quads much? They're my main group I pin. At first they hurt, but I haven't felt a shot of anything in over 4 months. Maybe you just need to break them in. Same with my delts. I started slin pinning tren. Fucking hurt every time. Now I don't even feel it.

 

[gmta99]

ya on second shot in quad with the prop.. i do quad,quad, glute, glute, delt delt.and start over..

Just brewed 40ml Test Cyp at 230mg/ml with a sources raws.

Took about 38 minutes for everything, including a quick clean-up.
The heated oil went through the syringe filter smoothly, although I ran it through the filter and into the vial with an 18g pin.

Funny story. Something fell and in the process I happened to put an 18g through one side on my middle finger and out the other! I was pissed! I had to switch out to a new one of course. :-/

All in all it went good, and looks amazing.

 

[anxious1]

To add to the debate about pushing the gear out of the filter with regular oil...

When you do this you can see the regular oil mix into the vial a little bit. I'd say maybe .3 ml's tops!
Just heat it up and it looks great.

.3 tops isnt going to change much. Especially since it is mixed with gear.

Ok so i am trying to brew 300ml of Eq and the bottom of my millipore has cracked and is leaking some air in....have any of you guys had this problem? And if so what have you done to fix the crack? The pressure was very low so Im not sure why it cracked. I tried tape but it is still drawing in air....could i try some gum or putty?

I assume the crack isn't big enough to let any substance in or out.

If that is the case, then you can try a plastic safe apoxy, boat repair patch (or similar).

 

[tyzero89]

No liquid is leaking....Im gonna try gum. I was mainly looking for quick fix with some household materials. If the gum don't work then i might try the plastic epoxy

 

[keith1569]

I would just transfer the left over oil to another cup

Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G

 

[anxious1]

Household goods.
Try a thin piece of plastic where you put super glue around the crack, (not over it) then lay some plastic over the crack and glue.

It sounds lame, but if gear is on the line you must go to extremes.

Yea man, some people say prop is a bitch for injection pain. You may be really sensitive.

 

[Aaron S.]

For the guy with the prop problem. I used to make 400mg/ml guiaicol melts and then dilute down for injection. I had way more pain issues with Prop doing it this way. Do you make concentrates?

 

[anxious1]

How hot can you get the fluid using a millipore steri-cup and still be safe?

 

[SloppyJ]

Move that stuff to a new unit ASAP. I ordered extra setricups and it was a great idea. I broke 2 of them the same way that you just described. I'm not sure what the problem was. Those reciever units are really soft. Next time I brew I'm shelling out the dough for a glass bottle. I'm tired of losing gear for no reason.

 

[tyzero89]

Managed to get all of it filtered. I will be buying a glass media bottle for the future.

The solvents in your brew weaken the plastic and cause the cracking. This is why I went for a glass filtration system.

 

[SloppyJ]

Booze, I noticed that too. Those recivers really got soft.

Do you have an upper glass filtration unit or just a reciever bottle? I could really go for a glass filtration unit.

 

[pieguy]

Just makin sure, is tren ace the same brew process as test p if ur using raws from a powder source? Is there a necessity to bake afterwards cause I want to avoid heavy oxidation? Thanks for any help.

 

[keith1569]

I don't bake my gear after. Never been a problem

Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G

 

[brundel]

No reason to bake it. If you sterile filtered it its already sterile.
So if you are then baking it to sterilize it (there is no other reason) your just doing a process twice for no reason.

 

[SloppyJ]

No bake required. But if you do bake it and get it too hot, I believe that's where it could oxidize.

 

[onefastlady]

brundel knows his stuff. Solutions passed through a sterile filter into a sterile vessel truly are sterile, so there is no need to do anything more.

I'm loving this thread because I work in a microbiology lab, so for once I'm reading a thread that I know something about! (lifting newb, so I'm usually just a lurker in most forums).
