Mixing D76 stock solution

from Peter Schauss (schauss@worldnet.att.net)
I just tried mixing up some D76 stock solution. Following the directions on the package, I added the powder to 800 ml of hot water ~125 F. After a good bit of stiring I managed to get the powder in suspension, forming a milky looking liquid. I poured this into my 1 gallon jug and added enough cold water to bring it up to 1 gallon. When I look into the jug after shaking it up a bit, I can still see some of undissolved granuals floating about.

If I let this sit a few days will all of the granuals dissolve? What is this stuff supposed to look like when ready for use? What, if anything, did I do wrong when I made up the solution? Should I pitch this batch and start over?

Thanks
