Thread: Rookie makes his first brew of Test-E 300

I just completed my first brewing evening! 200 ml of Test-E 300.

I used 1% BA and 15% BB I went 10% over with my powder to adjust for impurity.

Questions:
1. How long after bottling should i let it set before dog-fooding this?
2. Is 10% overage enough usually to cover for impurity?

I used the Autofil system, with cradle, and a 1.5 CFM vacuum pump. Also have a hot plate with magnetic stirrer, and that worked as well as I had hoped.

Can you show me the autofil system you used? I was also wondering if the vacumn on my foodsaver would work. I have been looking on ebay and they seem to have the plate/stirrer cheap. If youve done research on a frugal one please post it as well.

Thanks CC,
It all looks good although Im a little to "frugal" (cheap) for the cradle ring.

Maybe...but after using the hotplate with the magnetic stirrer, letting it cool, then dumping it into the autofil container, setting it in the cradle and then turning on the pump, in about 7 minutes i had 100 ml. After i do some modification to the ring for next time, it will go even faster. And to those asking, no, it didn't come close to collapsing the autofil container.

That pump is overkill, just get a handheld vacuum pump.

Don't need to. I've already got the pump.
