Thanks enigma and max! Tbh I will buy a laminar flow bench in the future. Definitely looked at them and priced a few out, just with the expenses of everything I purchased to do my first few runs. 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.
