After a long hiatus, I am getting ready to process some film and make some prints. I mix my own developers for film and paper and have some chemistry that's been on the shelf about 1.5-2 years.
I have about 50g each of metol and hydroquinone, both stored in the plastic bottles they came in from the Formulary. They have both sort of clumped up, I assume from humidity. The metol looks slightly tannish.
My question: I'm wondering if these will still be active and useable or if I have to order all new chemistry before mixing my developers.
