Thread: Brewing Test E and Deca at 300mg/ml FAVORITE %'s?

PICTURES COMING
Tonight brewing 166ml Test E (50g raws) and 83ml Deca (25g raws) both @300mg/ml (with 0.4% overdose)
1%BA and 5%BB.
What are your favorite percentages?

Deca

So about to brew the Deca, but only half with the following recipe. (I am using Now brand MCT Oil, not GSO). BA boiling point is around 401 F, and I don't heat no where near that temp, so not worried about BA cookoff. I don't use much heat. If it holds, I will add the other half to the beaker and filter, slightly warm up.
I will be in my finished basement doing this, and it is pretty cool down there. Around 65 F. Will let it sit for a couple of hours.
My finished gear is stored upstairs, second level, where it is around 70 F most of the time.

Thoughts if you have any. Where are my brewers at man? Get in here bros!

Thank you and please Let us know the result, and how much BA and B.B. you ended up using

I've been asking around on a few homebrew threads on different boards and would love to hear your take on it. Do you use a thermometer when heating and what temp do you typically try to hold the product at when mixing? I have my own theories on temp and mixing and would love to hear what you do and your reasoning. Also what is your method of sterilization since you're working at your house?

I will give full details sometime tomorrow bro.
Until then here are some pics.
Deca 300mg/ml in MCT oil 1%BA and 5%BB.
Going to see if it still holds in vial over the next day or two.

The weight setup fell off when I was setting it back up after first vial was done. The weight hit the vial metal top and made a small dent. Glad it didn't hit the glass. Lesson learned, clear finished vials from area of syringe filter contraption.

Amber bottle is cialis in PEG 400@20mg/ml and tucked behind cialis is some bacteriostatic water I made for hcg reconstitution. Then one vial of NPP 100, 4 vials of Deca 300, 1 vial of Test E 300.
That is my last vial of test, so brewing 166ml in about a week.

This is my method, not etched in stone

When using bottle top filter, I use a Pyrex glass media bottle with GL45 cap. After filtration, I put a GL45 open top cap with silicone septa. This turns the bottle into a huge vial.
This way I can draw from the media bottle with needle and syringe(60ml with 20G needle) and dispense into sterile sealed vials.
If you were dispensing into open vials, you would need to sterilize them, and keep them covered. Uncover one at a time to fill.
You need sterile work environment that is dust free. You need body covering with gloves, optimally.
You can get sterile disposable pipettes to draw and dispense into open vials. Then rubber stopper and crimp.
However, I only work with sterile sealed vials because I am not a dealer.

Temp: I have a thermometer, and I don't add much heat. Enough to get the compound melted in the BB and oil.
Never above 190F. I have never had a need to. A little past hot to the touch. You will see the mixture start to swirl slowly from the heat.
Tren is a different story. You do not want to heat tren too much.
I add the BA (around 120F during cooldown) after it has been mixed well, and fully into solution. Pretty much clear and you do not see any separation of oil in the beaker.
I then mix more after adding BA, and put it on the hotplate with a very low warm setting. Around 140F for a couple minutes.
My hotplate is actually an old rice cooker. It has a Warm and Cook setting. I use the warm setting when letting it sit to stay warm, but I
will let it sit there for a couple minutes while filtering, then remove it, let it sit for a couple minutes, then put it back on.
Nothing super monitored or scientific, just keeping it warm, but not letting it sit on hotplate for a long time.
It basically stays warm to where you can barely hold it. Around 130-140F. If using bottle top filter, I pour about 60ml at a time, just to keep the oil in the cap somewhat warm,
If I poured in lets say 160ml, then it would most likely get room temperature and slow down.

I filter 10 degrees below the filters working temp. This is a specification that is either on the filter, or in the specifications online.(usually)
I am using a Nalgene 0.2um Nylon filter 726-2520. I did not see a temp capacity, but I filter around 120F.

So, nothing super scientific. The filtration handles the sterilization. So it's gtg once filtered.
