Thread: Thinking about brewing, Have questions

I have the MCT oil. The beakers and two sizes grad cylinders are on the way (already ordered). Just getting a little at a time. I also have access to a stove. Will get more as I shop around.

As you go along, just like any hobby, you'll find more and more things to add to your collection. Vial crimpers and decrimpers. I would absolutely love an autoclave system for sterilization. I mean there are many ways to use other things such as boiling water, heating in stove, pressure cookers. But man, an autoclave would make life so much easier. Too bad those bastards are so expensive. That's an investment unto itself. But it would be worth it and I will be getting one at some point.

I feel ya man. Having an air filtration system and autoclave for sterilization are some really expensive yet incredibly helpful in keeping your brew as clean as possible. I’m lucky that I work in a lab and have access to an autoclave. Definitely comes in handy. But for home brews I’ve always just used a 99% IPA rinse for my vials, stoppers, and glass media bottles and cover with aluminum foil and toss in the oven for a few hours.

You don't need to buy an autoclave, there are so many cheap ways to sterilize your equipment and vials. And if you only brew small amounts for personal use you just buy pre-sterilized stuff.

Slowly getting my stuff together. I think I want to get a larger beaker as mine appears small although I only plan on brewing 60 ml at a time. I still need a few more things. My thermometer doubles as stir rod. But so far....
