Thread: Who intentionally overdoses their gear?

After 10 filtrations, using 10 of these filters, I have noticed no discoloration of the reservoir and the nylon membrane is still entact.

Im probably the most paranoid person out there and I feel comfortable using these filters.

Btw, the pic you provided are the filters I am referring to.

Perfect! Ur response makes me feel a whole lot better about it.

I went ahead and just bout 10 of the .45 and 10 of the .22 of the whatman that I showed the ss of.

Finally I'll be able to start brewing.

Thx again for the info!

Sorry for the late response. I feel like because I'm naturally getting more hormone by percentage in the propianate mixes, I just don't overdose them. Most propianates are done daily or EOD, so not the same need to OD those.

side note, there’s a removeable nipple that you slide your vacuum hose into the Whatman filters; be sure that nipple is completely pushed into the filter or you will not get a vacuum. Also, be sure to remove the plastic ring that came with your media bottles it will cause the vacuum to come down faster than normal.

Also, keep the vacuum below 18 in/hg in order to keep from blowing out the membrane.

Ah ok.

I'll ss this and save it for future reference.

I'll definitely let everyone know how the brewing turns out.

I'll start with the test e I got for free with an order I did at landmark chems.

I'm a rookie at most of this, but its great to see your input on this, makes me feel good about my own logic.

Thank you, sir! Would 15% overdose on long esters be OK? I will limit short esters to 10^.

Thanks again!

Definitely let me know your results while on cycle. I have some landmark I haven’t brewed yet and would be interested in it’s purity/potency/dosage.

I brewed for years never over dosed my gear on purpose I do.t get it but to each their own
