What's an Ester?

Beginners Steroids FAQs
A Steroid Ester refers to the chain of carbons attached to the steroid molecule at the 17th position. The longer the chain, the greater the time taken for the steroid to be released into the bloodstream. Testosterone propionate, for example, is a relatively short chain ester and therefore makes the parent hormone fast acting and requiring more frequent injections. The opposite is the case for longer chain esters e.g. enanthate, cypionate, undecanoate.

What is Ester C and bowel tolerance?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions

If you decide to use Ester C or any of the other buffered form of C (calcium ascorbate or sodium ascorbate), you will be able to provide a much higher dosage than you would with ascorbic acid. If you are providing a buffered form of C, you might want to start out with 500 mg and increase the dosage (splitting the dosage to twice per day) until you determine the bowel tolerance.

Why does my beer have a high ester and/or sulfur level?

White Labs
High ester and sulfur levels are most commonly associated with high fermentation temperatures. Different types of strains also produce different ester and sulfur attributes. Make sure you choose the proper yeast for the style of beer you are making and ferment the wort within the recommended temperature ranges. Some strains do ferment well in the 55-60?F, but this Kolsch strain works best at the 66-68?F temperature range. It has a very clean flavor profile at that temperature range.
