Using Microwaves for Brewing?

Pharma
1

I heard it was possible to brew the ‘quick n easy way’ using a microwave.

Has anyone else used a microwave for brewing?

Here is how it’s done:
[i]
Measure out powder, BA, BB and add to brewing vessel.

Ping in the microwave for 20 seconds on high (800W microwave)

Swirl contents until clear

Add carrier oil

Ping for a further 20 seconds and stir with a glass rod.

Filter and bottle in the usual way.[/i]

Basically, the main difference is that the BA, BB and powder mixture is heated in the microwave instead of a conventional hot water bath.

Is there any reason why this shouldn’t be done (i.e. damage to hormone itself), or is it perfectly fine to do it?

I don’t trust a microwave as far as I can throw it. I just don’t feel you have any control over the temperature. Its either nuke or no nuke. You ever seen what happens to a turkey frank? It ain’t pretty

I heard of people using it to cook off the BA. Or to make it easier for inject time.

Never for cooking as its a slower process and needs to be a bit more controlled. I suppose if your really good with a nuker you could try it but it would not be ideal.

Stick with tried and true that way your not in for surprises and wasting good gear or risking giving yourself an infection/abscess.

Radition producef by microwaves does not provide direct heat. The microwaves will cause water molecules to polarize and movement created during that will create friction. The friction is the source of heat. You wont be able to control that temperature to avoid destroying the steroid. Whether enough heat is created to enhance solubility is sometjing I dont know.

You can heat your water bath in the microwave, no problem.

Just dont put your gear in the bath when you do it.

Heat the water in the microwave, stir well, measure the temperature, and then put your gear in.

My question is, why bother using a microwave to heat water, you dont have a stove or a hot plate ??

That’s a pretty educated answer. The process is called dielectric heating.

The question is, will the ultra rapid oscillations and friction will destroy any hormone…if it’s only done in 10-20 second bursts

Microwaves dont heat evenly.

The waves are split through a fan more or less and bounce randomly.

Its a bad plan.

True - but with constant stirring this would solve that problem. However - i dont see the need when Test for eg. only needs 20mins or so.

I would stick with tried and tested methods personally.

Fast car washes, fast food, insant coffee, high speed internet…
Can we NOT wait the lousy 20-30 minutes to brew some nice, quality product?
I must be old (48)

Tim I remember reading somewhere on this forum that you were about to get on some cycle that scared a lot of our readers. I have to admit, I tried looking you up on the net to see what the results of that was… or if not the results… what you worked yourself up to right before you did that mega cycle…but… could not find anything but this picture here… im curious. how has this cycle it been? have you started it? I’m a noob when it comes to legit cycles so I’ve no idea as to what results look like and how it normally progresses…and am curious. will you be posting pics here?

its kinda strange really how very few people on here post progress pics… being that it is a muscle performance site. on the same token, I recognize that tnation is kind of an elitist site where people tend to be more introvert…which may explain the lack of photography…unlike bodybuilding.com (where i came from… not sure if i should be ashamed of this… lol) where everybody and their neighbor have pics showing off their 117lbs frame.

anyhow. i hope your mega-cycle is going well… and if you ever post pics up of your progress, try and remember this post and hit me up… i wanna see what a person looks like after going through a cycle that scares most.

You can use a microwave to heat all of those ingredients. I would use a more tradtional way of doing it. Even lab grade microwaves are notoriously difficult to get consistent results with for anything, and they usually have protective glass, since a lot of the time, things will blow up!
