I have never purchased D-76 in anything but the packets to make one gallon. I see that you can purchase a box to make 10 gallons, saving a good bit over the cost of 10 individual packets. Here is my question: If I purchase that, do I have to mix all 10 gallons at once? Or would I have to weigh out powder and then mix (which might be problematic if things weren't mixed "well"). Or does that box contain 10 packets... I don't know...
Thanks very much for your help/knowledge!
You have to make the contents of each package to the full amount as specified by Kodak. I don`t know if the 10 gallon sizes are individual 1 gallon packs or a single 10 gallon pack either, although D-76 and ID-11 are available in the UK in packages to make 1 litre of stock for the small volume user.I have never purchased D-76 in anything but the packets to make one gallon.

To me (and I'm pretty new at this) it strikes me as a bad idea. Reason being is once you open the 10gal pacakge the mix starts too oxidize. Powdered chemicals don't simply keep because they're powder. They keep because they're most commonly stored in sealed containers.
I have considered doing that myself, but does the emulsion speed drop with replenished D-76/ID-11?The 10 gallon pack is really made for deep tank use in commercial darkrooms.
If you want the best economy buy the 1 gallon pack & the replenisher that's how D76 is really meant to be used and the quality actually improves once it's seasoned & replenished.
