Hello I think I need some advice. Lets say the process of whatman filtering was tedious and slow. If I was looking into vacuum filtering some test 400, can any of you brilliant hobbyists share some opinions of the process and best equipment to use to speed of the filtering process? Thank you in advance because your knowledge will really help me...

viscosity
The speed depends on the viscosity (thickness) of the compound. What oil did you use? High dosed compounds should be made with thin oils like Eo or MCT. I guess you a 22 micron filter, for your own perpose a 45 is enoughOriginally posted by nympholvr View Post -
the ones i am looking at are 22 microns but i used grapeseed oil last time want to do a 50 50 mix with gso and eo like you recommended. something like this... if its not allowed to post link let me know thanks

I always use the old whatman filter with loose papers. It can be used on a glas recieverflask that is connected to a handpump or automatic pump. If you google WHATMAN FILTER you'll find it, then you can order filters in boxes of 100pcs in 20 micron and 45 micron etc etc best to use a pre-filter also to prevent clogging. If you use nalgene (from your link)use the blue ones and a prefilterComment

How much are you planning on filtering. I just did my first homebrew and I used a whatman syringe filter. The whole filtering process took less than 20 minutes. Very easy to do. I used a caulk gun to aid in the plunging the syringe. Fingers did not get sore at all. I have a millipore and a Nalgene filter that I will use next time I brew. I bought both to see which I liked better. This time I just went with the whatman because I only made 30ml of Test E. Started with a small batch since it was my first time. If your planning on doing smaller batches, i would recommend a caulk gun and syringe filter. Heres how my experiment turned out.

I used a template (.jpg) that I had gotten from someone on another forum and then just cut and pasted what I wanted to change. Pretty easy and fast but it looks alot better than writing with a marker.Comment
