First test prop

[AlmostThere]

The final product is the tiniest but cloudy, just wondering if there's anything I can do to change this or something I should have done differently.

10ml BB
1ml BA

Low Purity possibly ..
Did you test it?

Which carrier oil?

M

Used grapeseed oil.
And unfortunately only had the 5g test prop. Although I do have tren ace (10g) from same supplier. One or two of the bottles are quite clear and the others have varying levels of very slight cloudiness.

what filter did you use?

 

[AlmostThere]

'Biofil'

 

[MANWHORE]

Looks like an industrial filter..
what made you buy those?

What type of membrane was in the filter? Nylon, CA, MCE, PES, PTFE, PVDF PP

Because I couldn't get a hold of the whatman filters, and these seemed to be okay. Would you not recommend these then ? Lol. http://www.jetbiofil.com/english/ProductShow.asp?ID=14

What temp was it held at while mixing?
How long was it held at that temp?

I would think the filters are good for your application if they're good quality and the membrane didn't rupture.

Hmm there was some fluctuations in temp during, as the large syringe I used was taking too long to filter so had to put back into the beaker changing the temps ... was easier to use smaller syringes. What is best temp to keep it held at whilst I make the tren ace next time

Honestly I have never brewed Tren ace before. I could recite what I've read but I think someone like @MANWHORE who has first hand knowledge would far outweigh anything I have to say!

So do you think the temp fluctuations in the test prop will have had something to do with cloudiness ? Just had some info to try reheating and seeing if it clears up..

I've seen some cloudiness due to moisture getting into the solution.

 

[Abuckeye]

I've had to do the same thing with a batch and it cleared right up. I put it in the oven but I've also put a sealed vial in a pan with water and heated it up.
When my batch was cloudy I thought maybe it was due to not using enough heat but IDK.

Good point Doc. I've seen this happen as well. The batch was heated in a beaker in boiling water and the moisture had flowed right in from the steam.
How was yours heated up?

 

[AlmostThere]

In a beaker in a pan of boiling water haha.

So I can just pop the vials into hot water and bring the temp up to the raws melting point and hopefully all will be cleared up ?

 

[Abuckeye]

I have done it with prop and TNE. Of course there were no flip top seals on the bottles and the stoppers had been pierced. Some say to vent with a needle but I never have, but you may have water in yours so it may be a good idea.

All the water doesn't need to be boiling but just getting it hot enough for some compounds will cause some water vapor. Try using some cooking oil next time. Much higher boiling point and it's an oil not water.
