Two more rolls of Kentmere while other rolls are developing.
Pre-soaked for ~30 minutes During the pre-soak, mixed 500mL Caffenol CL in ~425mL water. 8g waterfree washing soda, 6g Vitamin C, 11g iodized salt, and 20g Essential Everyday instant coffee, distilled water. Waited for microbubbling to stop after each addition. Poured into tank, then topped off with distilled water. Agitated 40x over first minute, then 5x over 15 seconds at 20:00 and 40:00. These are half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).
After 60 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed in 72 degree water. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 5 rolls from this batch of fixer), inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Recaptured fixer and rinsed for ten minutes, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank again and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
