Kinda curious as i am new to these but, how frequent do you order raws?
and how many grams would you suggest for personal use and not get any attention as the "big fish"?

I don’t concern myself with those things.

Very Nice, can you recommend a raw powder source ?

Don't ask this. Its against the coc. There are lots of good sponsors go to all of their forums and see which you think are best based on reviews and what your looking for

Yellow is exactly right.

Highest resolution the printer can achieve and wallah. Some fresh looking labels ready to go. Beats buying some
junky ones from somebody and paying shipping. I make a lot of custom labels for some of my fellow brewer buddy’s.

thanks for the feedback guys I’m really happy with how everything turned out after contemplating Researching and thinking how and what I wanted to do.

Enigma to answer your question I don’t have a pic of my lab and that isn’t my lab that’s just my labeling station the old kitchen table lol. But I can give you some insight on my setup and things I do.

I actually use a grow tent for my lab that I have with an exhaust fan that pull suction out of the tent and made a hood, and used furnace filter that pulls suction to the bottom of the tent so I don’t have debris like dust and such floating in my air and the on the intake side of the tent where I pull fresh air in I have an In line ducting filter so the air coming into the room stay clean. I clean the room before I step into in and run the fan for like 5 min to pull any debri that could possibly be in there to the furnace filter hood. have a lab jacket a where a fresh face mask everytime I walk in and something to cover my head for air and such. Lots of gloves obviously.

I use a magnetic stirrer hot plate. Auto clave all my glass. And run 500 ml zap caps with a brake blender vacuum pump. Then I carefully poor my filter gear into a pour tubes to dispense to vials. After vials and stoppers are auto claves and moisture is removed I put the stoppers on top of everyvial while they sit on my lab bench. To keep any possibility of anything contaminating then while I’m pouring. So I pour each vial one at a time out of my pour tube. Removing the stopper and immiadiatly putting it back on to plug the opening so the gear is only exposed to air for maybe 4-5 second per vial max. I set them all aside as I do them and then crimp them all at the end since the stopper is already sealing the vial. After I crimp them I inspect every bottle to triple check for no contaminants or floaters. I have never had a single floater or piece of dust ever in any of my vials and beleive me I probably over Thurally Inspect them cause I wouldn’t want to risk anything cause I’m using this gear. I’ve been running my gear for awhile and have never felt even the slightest insecure about my process. Everything I’ve pinned has been smooth as can be. I run cotton seed oil. And I’m really enjoying the process.

After raws, vials, hot plate, bought a lot of filters, stoppers, autoclave,, labels, carrier oil glass all the jazz, I went with the lesser expensive of a route that I still felt comfortable with putting in my own body. and had a few brews under my belt. Then I learned and learned and learned cause I think I was semi addicted to brewing for a min. I started with small batches to see where I needed to improve not because of a concern of a sterile environment but because I wanted to learn and really have to go through the steps repetitively to learn my flow and how I wanted to do things and how to operate the process with repetition. I definitely used more filters then needed cause I probably could of got away with syringe filters my first few batches. But I wanted to learn with bottle top filters cause I new I would need to down the road. Cause I’m on self prescribed trt. And I have been researching the brewing processes for years and just never pulled the trigger for a really long time. But I feel like what I’ve done is a success for me, because I have a lot of test to last me on trt for quiet some time. And I also wanna thank all you guys commenting in the home brew chemistry section and posting reviews cause I gained a ton of knowledge, ideas and thoughts what ifs and precautions, and improvements from everyone of you guys, just silently reading through your threads and problem solving people’s issues. Help me avoid a lot of mistakes. One thing though I can say that I still don’t understand though. That I’d like to hear insight on, is I read a lot of these threads saying lowers your bb you don’t need it or lower your ba. or change this ratio or change that. With test e. I did one run of a few bottles of test e at 18 % bb. Instead of 20 because of all that back and forth lower your bb lower your ba that’s cause the pip as an experiment. I think the gear is noticeably smoother with more bb. Even just with that 2% I could tell a big difference in my body. And I know everyone is different, but I can’t imagine ever wanting to go super low on bb. I feel like it actually helps with pip and people say lower it it causes pip I feel like it is miss leading and I would never play with that again. At 18% I could feel tension in my muscle where I pinned my quad. Where at 20% I would forget I even pinned the night before still ran the gear it didn’t cripple me by any means but I could notice I pinned 3 ml in my quad. But still feels miss leading to me cause at 20 I could pin 4 mls and walk around the next day forget I even pinned the night before.

Your Printer Prints Secret Microdots That Can be Traced Back to You | NDTV Gadgets 360

This isn’t a joke. Think about this while you’re printing labels. There’s a reason I order mine from China.

Certainly a good read about the microdots. Though according to the article it seems that the microdots simply reveal the date and time the document was printed and not what exactly is on the document. Also if printing a sheet of say 30 labels, it doesn't seem that every label would have these microdots within it. These microdots are probably somewhere on the page but not on every single label. I could be wrong but this is just my interpretation. In other words I don't think someone could take a label off a bottle of juice and be able to identify who exactly printed it.
