89 days to retirement

Hello! Today I wanted to post a blog more on the personal side. Note that I am really only speaking for myself here, as the team itself (spoiler) has no plans to stop. If you’re worried, OGL will likely continue after i’m gone.

You may have noticed a pretty big sale on Enanthate, Valerate, and Undecylate. I thought originally just to say something regarding clearing out old stock but I suppose there’s a larger truth to it.

I’ve been brewing, keeping a low IRL social profile and neglecting my health and aspirations for a long time doing this job. It’s kinda crazy how keeping everything up eventually becomes all consuming to ones entire life. This job really takes about everything out of you to keep going and then some. People who have unfortunately been there for the bumps, and a lot more people who have been there for the best times.

When I originally started homebrew was in a very bad state. There weren’t a ton of options and the ones who existed had some real flaws. That’s where I saw an opportunity to fill a need that so many of you over the years have had. I’m genuinely glad to see that that has changed in such a major way. People will fearmonger but this is by far the most healthy the availability of homebrew has ever been. Some other brewers may have not been the biggest fans of myself, they’ve made that clear, but there are also a *ton* of great options out there now.

Personally the past few years really have been the most eventful, best, worst, and most lifechanging i’ve had, and hey i’m an old fart.

Truly though there is a point where you start to ask was it enough? Have I hit the goals and the needs of others enough?

I think I have at this point.

The headline news here is that I have a certain amount of raws left. It’s still quite a bit but I’ve been dwelling for a while on whether or not to buy more. The more time has gone by the more i’m set on not buying more.

I need to brew up, sell and ship roughly a years supply if demand stays the same as it has been in three months. That goes for US domestic and UK vials (dispatched from the USA) only. The hard part here isn’t going to be shipping, just brewing itself. I’ll be trying to do that as religiously as possible.

If you’re interested in raws themselves, I may offer up what I have at some point if it isn’t going quick enough, but hey for now grab what you can at the least expensive prices in NA.

    This does leave me a little concerned considering the state of at least 4 orders being stuck on

    Pre-Shipment
    Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item

    I understand this may not be your area of the organisation but it is somewhat concerning who this is being left in the hands of.

    I had no clue that running your own online estrogen pharmacy could take such a toll. I mean I knew it might be difficult given seeing other suppliers also struggling. But for an established brewer I had thought of it more like a side hustle/part-time job. Probably under-appreciated, underpaid, and overworked. 😅

    Thanks for brewing up the tits ☕️ estrogen torchbearer 🗽
