Response to Extreme grain in prints

I have shot tri-x minimally because of the grain. When I do shoot it, I shoot because I want the grain. Don't throw out your negs, use them with there graining. You shouldn't be getting that kinda grain with that dev setup. Check your negitives to see if that is where your getting the grain. It could be your old enlarger. If your enlarger has a big bubble thing on top it is a diffuser enlarger and may have dust on either the lens or diffuser. It could be the lamp also. try printing negitives you know arn't grainy in the enlarger.
