DougoeFre5h,
What you posted here is the non plus ultra of homebrewing! An extremely informative and useful post; thank you for that!
I am fairly new on the homebrewing scene, although I am quite well into chemistry. I know this is an old thread, but I would like to ask you a few questions on making water suspended Stanozolol; hoping someone will eventually reply.
I tried to convert some Stanozolol powder following the directions mentioned in the post, but I wasn’t very successful. The melting point of Stanozolol being very high using little solvent, it tends to thicken up when allowed to cool in order to be drawn into the syringe before filtering. I managed to draw the Stanozolol while was still in solution (very hot) and pass it through the filter, but after a few drops went into the vial the rest of the solution thickened up in the barrel and the filter clogged.
What am I doing wrong here? Could it be that I am using a .22μm instead of a 45μm? Also, are the proportions of solvents correct (4ml PEG 300; 0.6ml polysorbate 80).
I was also wondering, as the Stanozolol gets into solution with the solvents at very high temperature (well over 100°), therefore completely sterile, would it be possible to avoid the filtering and titrate it directly into the vial? For further peace of mind, why not autoclave the vial after the titration (Stanozolol won’t die at higher temperatures anyway). To be fair, I tried this method with the mix solution left over after the filter clogged, and it seems it has worked a treat. However, I haven’t pin it yet as I would like to gather more view points from you. I am aware I could easily suspend Stanozolol in oil (less painful shots as well), but I like making things more complicated than they actually are…no pain no gain!
