Guides

We do not endorse these guides. They are linked here for your edification. For critical analysis of other injectable guides see Were My Vials Properly Sterilized?

• Vials/Transdermal/Pills: HRT Homebrew - [backup] - We haven’t fully vetted these instructions, but considering this is the highest quality instructions for homebrewing HRT that we’ve seen, there may be merit to other information in here.
• Homebrewing testosterone (r/steroids wiki) - r/steroids has almost 200k members on Reddit. They take their info seriously. We have not fully reviewed this info, but this will be a good source for info specific to brewing testosterone. There is an extremely significant overlap between brewing E and T, and this is likely a good resource.
• How to make estradiol stickies - if you have limited resources and need to make your estradiol tablets last, this may be worth looking into. - backup
• Reddit Instructions - We haven’t evaluated this guide, likely has issues.
• Homebrewing Estrogel (Reddit) - A good resource for how to make your own estrogel, and can be adapted to make T gel. If you’re not confident about your safety and sterilization practices with making vials, making topicals is MUCH safer and can be as easy as mixing beta-estradiol/testosterone base, orange essential oil, and hand sanitizer in the right proportions.
• Boobs Not Bombs Bulk Estrogel Guide - Very detailed guide on how to pool $2000 with some friends in order to make very large volumes of estrogel for your community. The information in this guide can be scaled down.
