Homebrew Question

[2lt2wt]

I've been brewing test enanthate for the past couple of years and it's always gone smoothly. My supplier is very reputable, so, I'm gonna get back with him but thought I'd ask you guys if anyone has seen this issue before. When I mixed my hormone with my oil it came out like I was mixing oil and water. No matter the temp I was cooking it at. It was completely clear while hot but would never actually mix.......Any ideas? thanks

What solvent/s are you using and what mg/ml are you trying to attain? pm me if you want...

 

[SloppyJ]

Did you mix the hormone with the solvents first? If so did that go into solution? We need some more info. More specifically what solvents, dose and how much you were making.

Like said above, need more details. How much total were u brewing?

I was brewing 10 grams @ 250mg and 5%BA.... I did not mix hormone with solvent first.....Think that may have been my issue?

 

[FordFan]

Please list your complet breakdown of ingredients and the amt. usually best to heat hormone and solvent together until dissolved. Then add oil and reheat. I'm sure yours had lots of swirl in it.

With te, you must mix hormone and solvent first... little tip, use it if you like...2%ba and bb(enough to dissolve te..usually10-12% range is better, health wise)..ba over 3% starts getting into the gray area of safety, and over 5% can start getting necrotic to tissue at inj site.....

2% BA is all that is needed. I put the BA and then I normally use 20% BB and I put both of those in a beaker. Then add the hormone. While you are doing this, put a few inches of water in a pan and heat it over medium heat. Then swirl your mixture around until it is dissolved as much as possible. Then stick it in the warm water and heat it up. Keep swirling until everything is dissolved then pour in your GSO and filter.

I've never used BB when making my enanthate.....i'm assuming, you recommend it?!?

 

[pieguy]

Enanthate is super easy to brew and doesn't require any BB. You can add some and it'll help thin it out, which is a good thing if you use 25g+ needles. It isn't a requirement but usually brewers just use a standard formula. Most use 2/20/gso or 2/20/gso/eo (difficult shit like prop).

 

[SloppyJ]

Prop held fine at my typical 2ba 20bb and GSO.

I like the BB cause I use 25g pins.
