Anyone had any success with Indian raws??

[Harrylewis126]

I’ve seen a few labs that apparently source from India but it’s very hit and miss. If you do get a hit I know the prices are high that’s to be expected but from what I’ve seen so far 90% of the Indian sources are scams or send underdosed raws.

90% of all Indian commerce is scams. But there are a few good sources, many of which just stockpiled Chinese raws for resale. There are even fewer that have connections to actual Indian manufacturing.
We're in an interim era, it's going to take some time to sort the Indian good from the bad while China gets their shit together. And in the meantime, things are so tight that brewers who have found a good source are going to be reluctant to share with everyone else.

It definitely seems that way with Indian so called sources, unfortunately if you can get hold of a small amount of raws the price of them really makes it not worth brewing as the end price of the oils in some cases you’ll be running at a loss once you factor in your outlays, not that it affects me I just brew for personal use.
Hopefully china can sort there shit out early next year and we can get back to some normality

If you're going to buy Indian raws, on the off chance you actually receive something, make sure to get it tested. Especially if its primo, mast, etc. Some labs in the UK have been burned by an Indian supplier sending them a testP + mastP blend labelled as primo. You also have the obvious hygiene concerns. I'd not risk it personally.

I always get my Raws tested no matter where they come from, but it just seems no one has a good word to say about Indian suppliers. I saw a post on a facebook group over the weekend where a guy was sent 1kg of test e Raws but it was just sugar

To them, scamming and lying is as natural as breathing. It's normal and socially acceptable. No point interacting in any form.

No there's just people taking advantage of the desperation of others right now, Indian suppliers where shipping good stuff before the drought..


Im surprised Chinese manufacturing hasn't connected to Indian shipping yet..

Are the Chinese cutting off all production right now? Or just not shipping

India is the land of scam calls and the worst hygiene in the world
terrible combo for stuff like this.

You'd have to be insane to inject anything produced in that country. They drink from and bathe in rivers polluted with sewage and dead bodies. Just eating their food and breathing their air makes foreigners violently sick.

Placed an order with a vendor. Pack never made it.

Other people has luck with it. My time of ordering raws is over. I am done with this shit.

Risk is too high, price is 5-6x the cost as well.
