Response to Mixing Chemistry in Metal Containers

Andrew, If your pot was stainless steel or enamel coated, no worries, (just use plastic next time). I think aluminum would probably be all right too with just the basic B&W chemistry. If you used a cast iron pot, do some tests and see if the results are all right. (Tests wouldn't be a bad idea in any case: "When in doubt, test!"). A tip: for mixing large quantities of chemistry, get a large plastic bucket with liter/quart/gallon markings on it. Calibrate the volume scale if you need to. Even if you are off a few ml every 4 or 8 liters, you are well within working tolerances. Regards, ;^D)
