Thread: OB'S BREWING 101

Hey guys trying to get everything together to brew some test cyp and deca.
I bought a vacuum setup thinking it would save time but I can't get anything to run thru the filters I got with the hand vacuum pump I have.
First tried heated Olive oil just a few drops a minute will go thru. Tried water same thing. Do I need more vacuum I've seen electrical pumps fairly cheap.
Got a few pics for ya here too on the setup ect. Can anyone tell me about these filters? You use the part on the upper left of photo correct? I'm assuming the other part with lines is a part you don't use.
Thanks for any help.

First thing yes you need a decent vaccum pump the hand held just dont give enough vaccum to Flow..you must have continued vaccum to keep the fluid moving that is why it wont flow through the filter...

Cool bro anything you need to know just holla at me..

Ya I've got a few questions the filters I pictured. The actual filter is the part with the grid on it the other part is not right?

No problem bro we can i love this shit its a art as long as your sare with it i have no problems helping you out with whatever..

Typo safe

Cool so I've been thinking and with this setup there's no way around the solution hitting air again so would you draw into syringes and filter again into pre made vials?

No.. pour your mix in your beeker put the top on it and vacuum it down and all your solution in the bottom beeker is clean..there is no better filtration system better than what you have you just need the right things to make it work..

I tried that seringe filter bullshit and it takes so much time and you get no where but frustrated...
