Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below i understand that some suppliers have jugs of gear. when they send these jugs, they come in tubes. someone told me that you have to put the gear in vials and then put them in the oven at low temp to kill bacteria. i have never heard of this. i only ask for expert knowledge on this please. thanks in advance!

BA is benzyl alcohol. The rubber stopper on the vial will not melt. It will get a little softer until it cools. I've had bad luck when baking gear. Maybe it's the type of rubber stopper on the vial, but whenever I bake mine it dries out the rubber stopper. So when I put a small pin in the stopper to equalize the pressure in the vial, I would take the pin out and there would be a permanent hole in the stopper, so it leaked. Big pain in the ass.
Another thing you could do that is very effective is to get an electric fyring pan and a candy thermometer. Put water into the pan just up to the level of the gear and pasteurize it. I think it would be better that way.

I really question the efficacy of Boiling gear, I mean to kill bacteria you need to autoclace which is cooking under about 15psi of pressure for 15minutes at a higher temp (i forget how many degrees). I mean boiling probably just evaporates the BA and would increase the risk for infection. BA is an excellent antiseptic. I know you say well pastuerizing works but your not drinking this gear, your injecting it.
