Test Cyp color

first time poster- First time brewer here: I know I followed exactly. Test cyp at 250mg/mL is SLIGHTLY yellow. Google confirms this but for the life of me I can't remember what TC looked like when I ordered it from other guys. Perfectly clear, and heated to confirmed melting point and not the "traditional 150F".

Thanks guys.

That's ok bro. I think the length of time heating it also determines the color to a degree of it from clear to tinted.

Welcome to MuscleChemistry brutha!!

For the record though We also have some guys here who are way more experienced in this who can be more definitive with your question than I can .

That's fine P, I appreciate the input. I wondered if cooking time might influence it a bit. Thanks for the confirmation and the welcome.

I have read other day that colour depends of the carrier oil used. But should be clear to slighty yellow.

ok, that makes sense... I realize also what threw me off was I had also brewed some Mast P which is completely colorless, so the contrast between the two made me think “uh-oh”

thanks

nothing unsual, there will be small colour difference between compounds too.

The carrier oil used will effect end color in more ways than one. First some have slightly yellowish tints. Second the carrier oil (I believe it is the oil that does this but I could be wrong it might be the bb or the hormone itself) will slightly oxidize during the brewing process. I myself have been playing with an oil based winny brew the past week. And it started clear and by the time I got it to hold it almost looks like a tren. It is from the oil oxidizing. I don't think it would hurt you but I wouldn't use anything that is like brown or too dark.

Think about the oil on your car. It starts looking like honey then can end up dark brown. Now that is from contaminates. There is a guy on youtube that just does home self testing of different products. One of his tests was different car oils. He just put X amount in a glass coffee pot the heated it at whatever temp for so long. Now that oil ended up getting darker and not from contaminates, from oxidizing due to the heat. So I am fairly sure we can have similar situations with our brews, depending on how high and long we heat them.

So a slight yellowing of the brew is probably the earliest sign of the oil starting to oxidize. That is if it is from the oil and not from the raw powder being yellowish to begin with.

We typically only think of tren being that amber color and for the most parts it usually is the only one but if you have something like test cypionate that needs a little more heat to brew and hold then there is going to be some oxidizing. It could be to the hormone itself but I think it is to the oil. I also seem to remember that some test cyp powder actually has a slight yellowish tint to it, or am I confusing that with somet else?

I will say that I didn't really notice a distinguishable difference in color after I filtered it.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever had/seen clear winny.... the solution was slightly yellow very early in the heating process so I think it was the oil and carrier I used, Mig and EO... the powder was SLIGHLTY yellow/off-white to begin with too. Thanks.
