Tips and advices for my first brew

Well, guys, after doing research for about a month i decided to start with my first brew. It is going to be a bit large batch, so i am going to brew for myself and for a friend that has a competition. The total amount is going to be around 700ml :):), so of course i choose go with bottle top filters. I bough a complete glass filtration system, 50 PVDF 50mm filters that match the size of the bottle top, some stirrings, 4 beakers, and a hand pump. I still have some little doubts about the process, so i am going to explain how i think it should be.

First i need to sterilize all the glass staff (flask, bottle top, beakers, stirrings), as i read the best way to go without an autoclave is:


Clean all the staff washing and rinsing them out in very hot water, after i will rinse them out with iso alcohol and let them dry. After that i will cover the throats with tin foil and bake it in the oven at 350F for 30 min upside down removing first the plastic rings that the flask and bottle top have. After 30 min i will leave all the staff inside the oven cooling themself at a natural way, i don't want to take them out to a normal room temperature, so it can produce condensation. Do you think guys i am on the right way? Something that i could forget or something to add?

This is my system:

One time the staff is sterilized, i can start to brew my gear. I will do EQ, Susta, Tren A, Mast P and Test P. I will do the neccesary calculations for BA, BB and oil, this is not a big deal, mix them and put them in the top filter with a 0.2 PVDF filter. I will apply pressure with the hand pump and it will become filtered. One time the gear is filtered, i will transfer to 50ml vial with a vent needle and a syringe. My questions here:

1-. The gear is for my personal use, so for example, after brew EQ and transfer to 50ml vials, can i filter another hormone without clean all the staff? i don't mind if the new batch will contain a little bit of the old one, so is for personal use

2-. How many ml more or less can filter a 0.2 PVDF filter disc that is on the bottle top?

After my brew if everything goes well and is not painfull, i will post a complete tutorial since the beginning until the end including pics

Thanks in advance for your answers and tips.
