Can someone out there who has brewed Sustanon tell me if it differs in appearance from non-blended hormone powders?
Mine is giving the appearance of particles uniform throughout the brew. It is not foggy, like the problem I encountered a few weeks ago with Test E. It is pretty clear for the most part; it just looks like saltwater probably would if you held a glass of it up to the light.
Damn Mousse, are you hitting another snag? I hope not, man.
A testosterone blend should look exactly like any other test: a nice, clean, clear, uniform yellow to amber (or greenish if you use grapeseed oil), with no smokiness or other obscurity.
BBB has a nice way of putting it in that the different esters are unable to “see” each other, and this is why we are able to achieve such high concentration with blends.
Unfortunately, as it appears to pertain to your current situation, this should result in a product that looks just as clear and lovely as any other low concentration, single-ester product.
Are you sure what you are looking at are not just residual bubbles that have not yet dissipated from the transfer from your containment vessel to your vial?
Yeh Cortes, more of the same I’m afraid. Are you not getting my emails? I just got back from the gym and it totally crashed. It’s completely foggy. I think that it may be my BB. I still heat in 2 parts via the old Chaos school and I notice that even with just BA & BB with the hormone powder that I can’t seem to get rid of a swirling.
This time my recipe was as follows: (no Test E btw Bushy)
Test Prop 12%
Test Phenyl Prop 24%
Test Iso 24%
Test Deca 40%
BA 2%
BB 20%
Cottonseed oil & EO
I was thinking of adding more BA. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I might play with the concentration in a way that would get rid of the swirlies that won’t seem to dissipate?
Thanks guys
Btw you’re looking great in your avvy Cortes; was that around the time of your last show a couple months ago?
Thanks for the compliment Mousse, yeah, that was just before my show in July. Sorry about not having responded to your email, either. I actually just noticed it, it had gotten buried. Seriously sorry about that, bud.
As to your problem, I wish knew better what to tell you. I will say that your method differs from my own. Mine is simpler and I pretty much never have any problems. Pretty much I just throw everything into the beaker all at the same time, heat in a hot water bath on the stove-top until the solution is nice and clear and then for about 10 minutes beyond that just to make certain (not that it should need heat, but just to speed up the process), and then I let the entire thing cool before putting everything through filtration. Not much more complicated than that. I don’t use any EO, either. Just plain old soybean oil or grapeseed oil bought from the grocery store works fine. I use the same BA/BB ratio you do, as well.
You’re not heating in the oven, are you? I’m wondering, if you are, if this is causing some sort of condensation, somehow, that is getting into your brew. I don’t know how this would be possible, but it’s just a thought.
Also, what are your actual concentrations? (Percentages look like they should be fine, however)
Even though that question appears not to apply, would you mind explaining what you were thinking about the test e, BBB?
The concentrations are 30mg, 60mg, 60mg and 100mg respectively
Hmmm. I’ve always heated in the oven and never had a problem; I didn’t realize it was a no-no.
What do you suppose if any, would be a good method to remove moisture?

Lol, because he made cloudy test E recently. Ergo if the blend was couldy and he had used the same test E powder…
Mousse. I suggest you heat up some oil, BA + BB and see if it comes out clear. Then add a tiny amount of hormone and see if it clouds up. If clear then add more hormone until it clouds. That is your saturation point.
But to be honest if it were me I would get new BA and BB.

Thanks Bushy. I’m going to order new BB and oil; the BA I have been using forever so I know it’s G2G. I’ll experiment as you suggested. The tough thing is that it doesn’t actually cloud up until it cools; I have a nice clear brew throughout the process as long as I’m stirring, so I must wait until it cools to find out if it holds. Interestingly enough it is upon the addition of BB that causes the initial swirling, whereas in the past it only seemed to be upon the addition of oil.
Btw, I can usually tell whilst brewing if it’s going to crash because I have to stir the swirlies out constantly; the swirling just reappears and reappears a few minutes after stirring.
This is so frustrating (and expensive).

How are you storing your powder? If frozen, are you allowing it to reach room temp before exposing to air? If not, moisture from the air will condense on the powder, leading to water in the final product.
You could bake your powder to ensure no moisture content. Simply place it on a tray in an airing cupboards for a few days, stirring it. Well, that might work here in the UK, but maybe your locale would demand use of an oven @ 50deg C for 60 minutes.

Oddly enough it is getting colder here and drier as well. So I could try your first suggestion. The test e was in that waxy state, but these test powders for the sustanon were in powder form. I’ll start with the BB and grapeseed oil change. If this does not work I will take a closer look at the powder.
Thanks!
I store either in original packaging or in tupperware in a fire-proof box.
