Test E raws crystalized

**Kylejames** · 10-04-2018, 02:07 AM

So I am pretty new to home brewing, but I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere. I got some raws and the test E is a solid rock. I can chip at it but turning it to a powder will be a process. Is this normal and should I just grind it back up?

why you want it to be back in powder form just weight what you need and it will disolve in you oil when you put it in it at 200c

I don't want to make all of it at once. Being new I was going to start by making a 10 g batch of 100 mg/ml

Just melt down to liquid and use it that way . 1 ml is pretty much 1 gram

I have a similar problem and was gonna post but you beat me to it. I have more powder, now crystal, than I want to do all at once. So I was going to ask the pro's if there would be a problem with grinding it down with a mortar and pestle or even a small coffee been grinder. I would think that breaking it back down without using heat would make it close to just being the original powder and I could get an the accurate amount for how much I want to brew at the moment. If I planned to distribute, then it wouldn't be an issue as I'd just make the whole batch. But I am just planning on setting myself up.

I ended up just making the whole thing and I'll have it ready to go whenever. Distribution isn't my thing either, not worth the risk

korsaire allready said this break a piece off weigh it and melt it down no need to bring it back to powder
