Pre-soaked film. During the pre-soak, mixed 500L Caffenol CL in ~425mL water: 8g waterfree washing soda, 6g Vitamin C, 10g 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 2x at 25:00 and 50:00. These are half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).

After 75 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed in tap water. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 26 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.
