Bacteriastatic water - how to make it
I’ve never needed any until the very near future. I’ve read the sticky above on the subject, but this sticky/post is from the year 2012. Does anyone have a proven, safe (read: sterile) way of making bacteriostatic water?
Heres the basic idea from the sticky:
sterile vial
distilled water
1% BA
filter using .22 filter.
Is this the correct, proven way, or, is there a better way?

I do 99ml of distilled water and 1ml of benzyl alcohol then filter with 22 micron filter.

So, do you believe benzyl alcohol is better than acetic acid?

Vinegar? Lol!
Even though you will see most Bac water is .9% BA, guys do as above, 99ml distilled water, 1ml BA.
A simple way to get .9 is to put 1ml BA into 100ml of water. The math is close.
How bacteriostatic does whatever you are reconstituting need to be? A 1ml/10iu vial of HGH lasts 2.5 days at my house and is refrigerated. Not much is going to grow n that time under these conditions. The multi-use vial of water gets pierced 20 times though, so the BA is necessary. (I make 20ml vial of water.)

It is about the simplest thing to make. Never an issue. Fast and easy.

yes, vinegar. Haha. I remember someone mentioning it on another forum (maybe it was this one, I don’t remember).
oh, and as always, thank you for your insight! I can tell you’ve been in this business quite some time.

In all honesty, only a few years, at least at the level I’m at now. I do have decades of lab/biology experience. I had a decent lab before I started brewing.
My aim is top level, proper procedures and equipment but even at a level a homebrewer could accomplish. Almost all of the equipment we have was purchased on eBay for pennies on the dollar. It can be done.

can this be used to reconstitute HGH
Sterile Saline 0.9% Sodium Chloride
Is that not bacteriostatic water?
I also have distilled water....which is best
