Thread: Who intentionally overdoses their gear?

Just missing the actual filtration system.

I originally wanted the autofil due to good reviews but for some reason finding the system with anything but the pes filters is very difficult for some reason.


I just looked it up and I'm gonna order what u suggested! Thx!

I have been apprehensive as of lately cuz I saw a discussion in bop where a few different guys were talking about they believed that the solvents were melting even the nylon and pvfd causing a certain amount of liquified plastic to get dissolved into the finished oil.

Not sure if this is at all true or if its even an issue if it is really happening.

I wish I could tag korsaire, hnausa, or any of the other guys that are much more experienced about brewing.

yes, I believe I was part of that conversation. I’ve found that the reservoir of the Whatman CR filters are made with regenerated cellulose, or at least partially RC, which is comparable with the chems we use, or at least this is what I’ve read/researched.

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.

Yep - everyone is spo-on with their replies. I overdosed gear at approximately 5% - usually unnecessarily so. Some compounds are tricky - overdosing propionate and a few others can make for slightly more painful injections for some clients. Regardless, for the minimal amount of time and money it cost, I found it to be worth it and it made me feel like I was doing the right thing in the crazy homebrew world!

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!

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.

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.
