EU HOMEBREW materiale sources?

[Mads]

Hello homebrewers. A few fellow meso members have sparked the thought of stocking up on (only) test raws for emergency reasons (possible future blacklist, nuclear war, zombie apocalypse etc) but iv yet to find any EU sources for sterile vials.
Do we have any fellow EU brewers who care to chime in? Would also love a solid BB source.
Also: do you guys use sealed vials for homebrewing or open vials and sealing them yourself?
Thanks

Do you use sealed vials and a syringe filter or is there a more productive way to approach the filtering? I remember filtering L carnatine being a pain in my ass and that was even in a water solution

Sorry but I don’t homebrew

I use the vial and benzyl alcohol to make reusable nebido (comes originally in single use vial)

I used a serynge filter to filter the BA, nothing else

You mean the european ebay? Personally cant find the materials only on US which is guaranteed to be inspected by customs in my country atleast
Last time i ordered vials from US ebay to EU my customs would continuously open the following packages for weeks and reseal them because it caused some suspicious

I buy from UK and didn't have any problem, no one open anything ever.
I pay the VAT on Ebay at exit and it comes to me like a package from a EU country

It is likely these chemicals aren't illegal. Have you checked? I buy mine on eBay np

They aren't illegal as far as I know but @Mads have problems with customs

No but UK ebay gets caught in customs since its not inside the EU so it will likely lead to more check ups in future packages cuz of suspicious purchase

You're way overthinking this. You're not being put on a terrorist list.
Your country has thousands of parcels from China flying through the sorting machines every hour...

Do people know of a more automated way of filtering instead of a syringe filter?

 

[SunnyInAZ]

They have pumps but they can be expensive. I would 1st try putting your syringe in a caulking gun and it makes it much easier. You just have to be careful and use a “calibrated squeeze” in order to not break the filter as the caulking gun can create enough pressure to destroy the integrity of the filter. Also, try to use Watman filter as they are of the better quality
