    test 450 congealed in the fridge

    I keep my test 450 in the fridge, today i went to use it but it was congealed into a thick gel, i shook it up for a while and it ended up ok.

    Is this normal? its never happened to my gear in the past.

    Gear should be stored at room temp. You crashed your gear. The gel was the hormone that came out of solution. Now you'll need to heat it up if it does this again.

    Generally when it crashes it crystalizes, the hormone falls out of suspension. I don't think it crashed, just got cold enough for the oils to gel. Like Bonaparte said, don't store it in the fridge.

    Put a pin in it. Put hot water in a small cup and submerge it in the hot water. Takes five to ten mins to return to normal.

    I don't think Test E crystallizes, but gels up due to its low melting point. I've never tried to crash Test E though...

    I had this happen to some of my gear.
    Test E only, Prop and other gear was fine.

    I just took it out of the fridge and it was fine the next day.
    Don´t worry about it

    all compounds can crash when they are cooled and their saturation point is lowered.. and who in their right mind would store any oil based compound in the fridge?!
