Raws Arrived Melted

**Gearhead** · 07-16-2018, 04:50 AM

So I got my raws for my first attempt at brewing. I ordered 25g of test E and test C and 15g of Deca. I wanted to start off with 20ml of each to ease my way in. Well my test E and Deca arrived looking like a rock of crack. So now it looks like I will get 1 shot at each of those and either hit or miss. My question is, should the fact that it has melted down and solidified change anything? The source says no but I'd rather hear from people that have nothing invested in the situation. Thanks!

I got some deca that was all rocked up and it still came out fine after brewing . Not sure if it affected potency tho

That's the main thing I'm curious about. Most things when heated, especially more than once and cooled again, lose their strength/potency/integrity. Hopefully it's not the case here.

Nah man the melting point of both of those is under 100F. If it’s hot enough outside it will melt. My lack was actually leaking a bit and made it nasty to handle. Since it’s hardened you should be able to just scrape off what you need.

That crossed my mind but don't know how much of a pain in the ass it would be. Some area's are a little gelatinous and wouldn't be easy to cut. Plus with my luck my girlfriend would walk in the house unannounced as I'm doing it, see me shaving a crystal rock and think I had taken up crack.

If it’s not fully solid yet throw it in the freezer for a few hours. That’ll help

I'll second that notion. My test-E that i used tonight was just a wax rock

But it mixed cleanly, didn't take long with the heat applied.

I once got 100g of Deca that had melted all over the cardboard box it was packaged in. So much so that I tore the box apart and scraped in-between the layers of the cardboard with a butter knife. Brewed the shit anyway with 10ml of BA and 90ml of BB and fill the beaker to 500ml with GSO. Probably ended up with 180-190mg/ml but it was fine after a .22 micron filter!!!!
