Where does the winny for suspension come from?

[Stonecold54]

I am guessing that the winny powder listed on my guys list is not suitable for suspension in solution, if not what is the process to micoronize it?

[Lmg2701]

I've read something about filtering it through a micro. screen. Don't remember where, if I find it I'll post it.

Micronized just means that the particle size is a very small micron. I acctually use a razor blade to cut my powders before brewing. It helps alot with some of the harder to dissolve compounds.

so if I bought the powder I could cut it smaller using a blade and then suspend it in some bacteriostatic water?

You could also use a mortar and pestal...no? Seems like it would be easier and even more effective.

You can probably find one somewhere locally?? However, ebay has them also.

Remeber having this same discussion with Gator, LB? I'll post up a winny recipie in a sec.

[candle25]

Materials needed
PEG 400
BA 2%
BB 15%
Winny powder
Filter
Open Vial
Sterile Vial
5 or 10 cc sryinge
3 cc syringe
18 guage needle
smaller needle to relieve air pressure

Instructions:

1- Take the winny powder place in a open vial add BA & BB.
2- Heat vial till winny melts. I set mine in a frying pan on the eye of a stove, bring to heat slowly, and let cool slowly.
3- Add peg to mixture. Save 3 ml of you peg in the 3 ml syringe so you can purge the filter with just peg, so no winny is left.
4- Filter into a sterile vial.
5- Finished, should be a clear thick liquid.


For 5 Grams at 50mg/ml add
2ml BA
15ml BB
79.25ml PEG 400
5 Grams Winny

For 10 Grams at 50mg/ml add
4 ml BA
30 ml BB
158ml PEG 400
10 Grams Winny

Another method that might be better is to use 2.5% BA, 10% PG, remainder PEG-400. This batch recipe will not be as thick.

You would lose a considerable amount of powder that way because of the moving parts and the spaces around them.
