Clumpy Solid UG Test???? WTF

**Columbus** · 01-17-2007, 09:31 AM

Got some UG cypionate yesterday in the mail and it solidified. Is it wasted? The microwave doesn't work so I don't know what you should do....any thoughts?

Sounds like it might be cold in your part of the country. All you have to do is vent it with a pin and put it into a pot of water on the stove top. Bring the water to a boil and let the vial sit in the water. Watch it until it goes back into solution. If it ends up crashing again in your house you might have to add some BB.

I have found that once crystals have formed, no amount of BB will help it from recrashing. The only reason they crash is powder was not pure enough. so bb needs to be added while brewing to prevent this..This is especially true with Cyp....I have never seen Test E crash and I have been brewing for yrs..Only Cyp...I brew cyp with 2% BA and 15% BB and will never have a problem even in cold weather.

Good point, it could be the quality of powder used. I am just wondering if the UG didnt use enough BB originally. I made up some TNE using pinnacle's recipe on here and it kept crashing, I added more BB and it would stay longer but always eventually crash. I didnt think test cyp was that hard to do.
