Fuck. Family going nuts. Need to finish 2nd half. Here's a start:

Preamble
I've been working on trying to compartmentalize my homebrewing process so that I can do it in bits and pieces as time allows. I've been thinking about this for a while. Here is the completely stripped down process. Minimal investment, minimal time. All links are what I easily found. I have not spent time trying to find the "best deal." Some will complain some of this equipment isn't good/nice enough. It is. Shipping is not included in any of the pricing. YMMV.

Parameters
For this thought experiment, we will be making 100ml (10x 10ml vials) of Test E @ 250mg/ml, with 2% BA and 20% BB. This will require 25g of powder, 2ml of BA, 20ml of BB, and approximately 55ml of carrier oil.

Step one: Brew
Equipment:
Beaker Set $6.49 (Amazon)
Borosilicate Glass Stir Rod $1.75 (Amazon)
Small Scale $15.69 (Amazon)
Stove/Cooktop $0.00 (Kitchen)

Consumables:
10ml syringe $12.11 / 5 pack, also has syringe filters (Amazon)
2ml Benzyl Alcohol $4.21 for 50ml (MedlabSupply)
20ml Benzyl Benzoate $5.53 for 50ml (MedlabSupply)
~55ml Cottonseed oil $6.38 for 100ml (MedlabSupply)
3ml syringe you should already have on hand from pinning

Process:
Take your 250ml beaker, place it on the scale. Add 25g of powder. Use 3ml syringe to add 2ml of BA to beaker. Use 10ml syringe twice to add 20ml of BB to beaker. Pour CSO until it fills up to 100ml line.

Place beaker on stovetop, turn heat to low. Stir with glass rod. Keep stirring. Keep stirring. Keep doing this until your mix is completely clear (all powder dissolved in).

No kidding.

edit: Got tricked by the brand name being Fused Quartz.

Actual link

$126 for a 2 cup / half liter measuring cup.

u/TastefulDrapes · 14 pointsr/chemistry

Not a great idea... Go buy something like this instead.

u/acedelgado · 7 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

I'm a fan of Bull City Flavors- http://www.bullcityflavors.com/
They have pretty much every flavor from all of the major companies, plus pg and vg for a fair price. Also have a 6% discount code - VU6.



You'll also need some nicotine from either Nude Nicotine or Vape Clarity. I like getting it in 100% VG to help cut down on VG usage.


You'll also need a scale accurate to .01 gram - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UGBG20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mixing beakers - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AU6Y6X6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

PET bottles - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plastic-Squeezable-Dropper-Bottles-5-10-20-30-50ml-Liquid-Juice-E-Eye-PET-USA-/182439458891?var=&hash=item2a7a3d384b:m:mzrhDE22jYZfB8vMJhsQZiA

And very importantly, a milk frother that will mix your juice in under 30 seconds and save your sanity vs trying the shake method- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0158P72L6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1


Then go find yourself some juice recipes that look tasty to you- http://e-liquid-recipes.com/
And install the "ejuice me up" program to do all of the calculations for you-
http://ejuice.breaktru.com/



And you'll need the weights from this thread to put into the ejuice me up settings- https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/2iq3km/botboy141_guide_to_mixing_by_weight/

This is also a great starting point to read how to mix by weight. Or if you're a visual person here's a fan-freaking-tastic guide on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RdboUVCROs


So yeah, you're looking at a $100-150 investment to start off with, depending on how many flavors you order. But then the juice is a few cents per ML instead of like, a dollar+. Most of your cost from then on will be replacement bottles and VG and flavoring.

u/PuckDaFackers · 7 pointsr/bartenders

Are you just bartending casually at home or are you looking to do it as a job in the future?

Jefferey Morgenthaler's book is great:https://www.amazon.com/Bar-Book-Elements-Cocktail-Technique/dp/145211384X

You'll want to get a jigger, I recommend oxo's graduated jigger, a barspoon, a mixing glass, a strainer, a set of shaker tins (get a small and a large, and seriously splurge for koriko not the other bullshit)

Those are all of the essentials, beyond that everything is fairly unnecessary but there are tons of other things you can buy. I guess a vegetable peeler could be handy for peels but you can just use a sharp paring knife for zest garnishes.

For glassware you can spend as much or as little as you want, depending on how much you care about appearance. When I first starting making drinks at home I had glasses for every variety of drink. I still have those glasses, but basically use these for everything, regardless if it's shaken stirred or whatever. Gimlets taste delicious out of them, manhattans taste delicious out of them.

One little handy thing I've found is these seagram's bottles. Buy a 6 pk of the little glass club soda bottles. Once you use the soda, rinse them out and they're perfect for storing syrups, juices, etc. Plastic caps won't deteriorate like metal will in other styles of bottlees. They're short so they fit in weird parts of your fridge, hold enough syrup for plenty of drinks, etc etc.

u/slappingpenguins · 6 pointsr/intj
u/thatthatguy · 5 pointsr/TalesFromRetail

Not full to the very brim, just full to the fill-to-here line. It's obviously a graduated beaker rather than a glass, per-se. Otherwise, how would we know it was exactly half-full, rather than slightly over, or slightly under half?

u/straynd · 3 pointsr/bartenders

i use science beakers, they are cheap as shit and they are tempered so they can stand the heat and cold. they have lasted way longer for me than anything else. i use these:
http://www.amazon.com/Corning-1000-600-Graduated-Graduation-Interval/dp/B004DGIII8/ref=lp_318051011_1_8?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1453841582&sr=1-8

u/DrColdReality · 3 pointsr/answers

Sounds to me like a normal Pyrex beaker would work just fine.

If you don't have a Bunsen burner available--not good practice to go heating chemicals on your stove--you can either get a small hot plate, or some kind of small gas burner, like a backpacker's stove (what I use).

u/MrFluffyThing · 2 pointsr/Breadit

Turns out they're fairly cheap on Amazon but I don't see the exact one.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GE8NSM/

Alternatively this beaker mug is pretty sweet too.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AHGNBBG/

u/Kid_Crown · 2 pointsr/researchchemicals

Yeah PG, dropper bottles, and some glassware like this are all really cheap on amazon and a great investment. Once you figure out the volume of the dropper stems its pretty easy to dose anything precisely in no time. Powder benzos are way cheaper and it's convenient being able to dose it yourself.

u/SmokinGrunts · 2 pointsr/DIY

Non-true!

Here. - It's Corning too! ^ _ ^

Now, the trick is to get people interested and riled up for more advanced lab glassware, like a distillation apparatus. Then the vendors can sell more of them for cheaper!

The bigger the market, the less fear there is in people buying this stuff. Then, science wins! We really don't need any more of those 'officials' thinking this sort of equipment is only used for making 'drugs.'

EDIT: I feel half dumb. You linked to Corning glass on Amazon through your blog. FYI, your links on the Imgur page (the "Viewed Here/Purchased Here") are not actual links. However, your blog's links are fine.

u/DistinguishedSpirits · 2 pointsr/cocktails

Cheers. Glad you liked it. Yeah Old Grad-dad 114 is good too. I find that it's much easier to find than Bonded Granddad, but 114 might sneak up on you pretty quick. It's super potent!

As far as the mixing glass goes, I like it. It has a wide mouth which makes it easy to muddle and a bit of a lip, which helps for pouring. The measurements aren't super helpful because it's in milliliters and I'm not usually mixing 200ml drinks. Haha. But the best part is the handle. It keeps my hand from warming the mixing glass by keeping it off the mixing glass.

They sell them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Catamount-Laboratory-Beaker-Mug/dp/B004GE8NSM

u/Lizzy_Blue · 2 pointsr/muglife

In case you need a permanent handle plus, its a little bigger, and I would be worried about cross contamination. All that being said, I like your solution and the idea of drinking out of a beaker!

u/pancakethief · 2 pointsr/DIY_eJuice
u/project_twenty5oh1 · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

I went on a little shopping spree for my DIY/rebuildable stuff. Picked up the following:

5 glass beakers, 50-1000ml
4 oz amber glass boston round bottles, pack of 12
2x pack of 6 2oz amber bottles w/droppers
2x 2pack 8oz amber bottles
[labels for bottles] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z5SM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
100count transfer pipettes
2 10 packs of 5ml blunt tip syringes
Heated ultrasonic cleaner (for quick steeping)

100ft A1 32 AWG kanthal
100ft A1 30 AWG kanthal
100ft A1 28 AWG kanthal
12ft 2mm braided hollow Ekowool
Pair of locking hemostats
butane pencil torch (for torching ekowool)
This genius little invention - everyone should buy this, it was like six bucks

other than that, a couple anyvape mini davide glass clearos because the protank 2 group buy I organized will likely not have a replacable drip tip, and I need at least 2 mini glass tanks that can take my bds60 from captivape.

i need me a fucking workshop, not sure where I'm going to put all this stuff...

u/jumonster · 2 pointsr/RandomActsofMakeup

My weirdest item would probably be the beakers I have on my wishlist. I don't plan on measuring out foundation or anything! I just want them to store my makeup brushes. :)

We all know interspecies romance is weird

u/dichloro · 2 pointsr/barista

Being a chemist, I use a 600mL laboratory Pyrex beaker. It retains heat surprisingly well and since it is Pyrex, it doesn't have the tendency to break when temperature changes drastically. They're cheaper than the decanters too:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004DGIII8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PgoGybGTBWC5G

...Also, let's be real, it looks so cool.

u/CaliforniaGent · 2 pointsr/bartenders

I've seen a few bars using lab beakers to stir cocktails, I picked one up for home use and have been very pleased with it.

http://www.amazon.com/SEOH-Beaker-Borosilicate-Glass-Graduated/dp/B00AU6XZWO/ref=sr_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1398467918&sr=1-2&keywords=600+ml

u/MountSwolmore · 2 pointsr/steroids

This was from DL:

You guys convinced me to home brew. Especially after I just did some math on what my latest $2k purchase would get me.

Putting together the list, will be refining as I learn more.

u/supersciteach · 2 pointsr/weddingplanning

I agree with /u/notsweetenough that a 2L flask is way too big. If you a variety of other items at the table, you can get away with 250mL or 500mL flasks.

One issue I can see is that real lab ware can be pretty pricey. The first inspo photo you posted (which I love!) could easily be over $100 in lab ware alone. There are some sets on Amazon that are affordable-ish. If you want a mix-and-match thing going on, you could get this set. I would envision the larger 1L and 500mL flasks filled with fairy lights, and the smaller flasks with flowers in them. To save on costs, I would split them between two tables (with the 1L + 250mL on one table and the 500mL, 150mL, and 50mL on another). Likewise, there are equivalent beaker sets if you want to mix-and-match flasks and beakers.

If you wanted a more uniform theme, like in your second inspo photo, something like these 250mL Erlenmeyer flasks might work.

If it were me, I would probably go with mix-and-match sized flasks and beakers, with the largest ones holding the lights and smaller ones with flowers. I'd also have a separate table number with whatever science-y reference you want (plant, animal, elements, etc.). If the two candles didn't feel like they were enough, I would add on some 50mL beakers as bud vase, or colored wired balls (like in inspo #2), or fake succulents.

u/Randomacts · 1 pointr/tea

I feel like a teapot would take up too much room so I'll prob find an infuser that will work with my mug https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5WK7KK/

Any specific suggestions?

u/MrsDarcalus · 1 pointr/ThriftStoreHauls
u/DioTheory · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

:D Yay! I already have a regular beaker mug, now I just gotta complete the set! I totally want that Erlenmeyer flask one. It's just so fabulously geeky.

Also, the one I have is surprisingly sturdy and well made. I was a little worried when I got it that it'd be thin, easily breakable glass, but it's held up to quite a lot of abuse so far! So they're totally worth it.

u/Supahvaporeon · 1 pointr/3Dprinting

Amazon.

(Link to 5 pack of non pyrex, normal pyrex is only 1 for the same cost)

u/Ssuuddssyy · 1 pointr/sarmssourcetalk

It depends on what you want to take. The dosages on here range from 2.5,5 to 10, 10 being the most. People seem to swear by the 2.5-5 range but I personally like 10. Maybe try 5 your first go around.

So here’s how I would do it

Get PG solution bundle from the source below, it has the solution and dropper bottles.

https://whitewaterresearch.com

And get a beaker from amazon, this is what I have

Karter Scientific 214T2, 3.3 Boro, Griffin Low Form, Glass Beaker Set - 3 Sizes - 50ml, 100ml, 250ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F47B8AO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZCUyDb3YNPV8V

I would personally make a 50 ml solution.

Take the 50 ml beaker, fill up to 50ml line, dump in powder, mix (it may need to sit), poor into bottles and you’re done.

With that ratio of 50ml to your 1mg of powder you are looking at 20mg per ml (one dropper full)

So then you just math what you want. If you want to take 10mg then it’s half the dropper, if you want to take 5mg then it’s 1/4 the dropper.

If you want to be super precise with your dosing you can get one of these

BSTEAN 1ml 1cc Syringe with Luer Slip Tip, No Needle, Non-Sterile (Pack of 50) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N01TO2O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OGUyDb8DK6M6F

I personally like these because it does make it precise and the pipettes that come with the bottles tend to be shit.

u/Animatey · 1 pointr/eldertrees

I actually use a set of beakers I got on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/213A2-Karter-Scientific-Beaker-1000ml/dp/B006UKICJA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1407697950&sr=8-3&keywords=beaker

I use the 500 size to boil it down to about 50-100 ml then pour the remaining into a smaller beaker and finish there.

The reason to not boil it all in a smaller one is the larger sizes boil it down faster since they have more glass in contact with the stove.

I wonder if you could boil it down though in the mason jar... I may try that at some point, but I don't recommend it haha...

It sucks that you need something outside the kitchen for this part when the rest can be done without stuff readily available. Maybe we can find something to replace it from the kitchen...

u/zigmus64 · 1 pointr/DIY_eJuice

Another thing that helped me was getting a cheap set of beakers in varying sizes off Amazon. Weigh and mix in the beakers, SLOWLY mix with a silicone spatula, then pour the mixed juice into 6 120 mL bottles

Here’s what I have

Karter Scientific, 3.3 Boro, Griffin Low Form, Glass Beaker Set - 5 Sizes - 50ml, 100ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006UKICJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mJTQCbGFJ8Q1S

Apparently ordered them 2 years ago, almost to the day. They’ve been a godsend. I didn’t even realize I’ve been mixing that long, lol.

u/thirstyross · 1 pointr/Waxpen

I bought a set of these and use a smaller one for decarbing my shatter in the oven, and one of the larger ones for cleaning my coils. I only go through the extra step with the flask so that my ultrasonic cleaner isn't getting gunked up with oil remnants.

u/halbritt · 1 pointr/cocktails

You could pick up a 1l low form beaker for mixing two drinks:

https://amzn.com/B005MIQ7QG

They're a bit delicate though.

u/Skram333 · 1 pointr/CannabisExtracts

They are cheap too. Beakers!

u/StopfortheKlopp · 1 pointr/whatisthisthing

I'm trying to make a lid for this jacketed beaker how could I make one? what is the one in the picture made of?

u/andersce · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

$5.50

This is the coolest thing ever. HA. :)

u/Mike312 · 1 pointr/Sourdough

I got two 1-liter pyrex beakers for my starter. When I discard, I go down to 250ml and my mix hasn't managed to bubble up enough to overflow yet. The mouth is straight and wide so there's no cleaning issues like you have with those jars. Only downside is they're $17 a pop, but it's not like I've spent far more money on something I've used far less.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MIQ7QG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

u/AmNotLost · 1 pointr/Coffee

Are you saying you want to set a pour over cone/dripper (like a v60) on top of something like this and brew directly into a pitcher like this?

Make sure to measure the opening of the server, and compare it to the rim and flange on the dripper. Personally I bought a Karter scientific graduated beaker as my server -- since I can use it for other things in the kitchen (I try to avoid single use items as much as possible). A lot of people I know have one like this.

u/Mohawk_Scalps · 1 pointr/Mixology

Cocktail Kingdom is good but the quality for many pieces seems to have dropped off (e.g. broken jigger, Koriko tins and mixing glasses) That being said almost everything I use everyday is from them.

Uber has some quality products and also offers sets. Reviews say that the quality varies in the sets, but the spoon and muddler I use work well. I believe they are based in Austria as well!

I have just discovered a new website called Parched Penguin. I have not bought anything yet but am interested in their mixing glasses and many decorative pieces for special occasions.

If you are just getting started I would buy:
-Hawthorne
-Jigger
-Hand Juicer
-Small Tin
-Large Tin

Once you enjoy it and have mastered all of your favorite shaken drinks:
-Mixing Glass. We use these at my bar because they are cheap and can go through the dishwasher.
-Muddler. Once again dishwasher friendly and industructible.
-Bar Spoon. A cheap and effective spoon, easy to learn a proper Japanese stir.


Then comes the books...

u/Joey_the_Duck · 1 pointr/Teachers

A beaker mug. A friend gave me one when I told him I was going to become a teacher, I am a former research chemist so it was perfect.

Like this. https://www.amazon.ca/Catamount-Laboratory-Beaker-Mug/dp/B004GE8NSM

u/cTrollAltDel · 1 pointr/DIY_eJuice

> . Since I don't have a heated stirrer, I let my heated UC pull double-duty to warm up the mix for about 10 minutes, then transfer to my homebrew

I got a milk frother for my DIY mixing now, Also a set of 3 beakers which is 50/100/250ml I can then add HOT WATER "near boiling like from a coffee maker ect." and mix it during that too. Using each as a double boiler in a sense.

Though I am not sure ill double boiler it for ejuice mixing specifically I can be using to double boiler it up for mixing in Citric acid with PG without heating my PG in microwave "just for safety" and mix it like that.

Btw heres the link to my beakers if you want to take a look, as I had amazon prime too.

Here you go! It's some solid glass, pretty thick. Already has become my favorite drinking utensil

u/The_Bishop82 · 0 pointsr/Homebrewing

Get a low form beaker, instead. Much less likely to have a volcanic boilover, far easier to clean.
