So first brew went ridiculously smooth. It was just test E but I had to start off somewhere. Where it got to be a pain in the ass was filtering. I bought everything I needed to filter about 10 months ago which included a hand pump and a stericup. Then I was reading a thread and someone brought up a good point I never thought of. After you filter through a stericup and you unscrep the top filter part you are exposing the test to air/dust and particles. Well that put a damper on my plans. So I bought the usual whattmans and filtered through the stericup first just because I had it and wanted to see how it worked. Then Filtered straight into the vials with the whattman and calk gun.
let me tell you this is a HUGE pain in the ass. Maybe Im half restarted but I lost about a CC of test on my table. I read a whole bunch about a "flowhood" you can make for the stericup to keep the air away from it but I cant find out exactly what that is or how to make it.
So how the hell do you filter using a stericup and keep it sterile?
