The amount that you're making is not important. It takes the same amount
of time to make 10 liters as to make 1.
I use a good balance for measuring small amounts and a postal scale to
measure things such as hypo for fixer or carbonate for paper developer.
If you can afford one, a magnetic stirrer removes a lot of the tedium
from mixing your own. You can even get them with a built in heating
element to make things even faster.

Ok, you've all peaked my interest. I promised myself photography
would be about taking pictures, not weighing powders.. But I'm a sucker
for anything new.
From other posts on other threads, my understanding, is the simplest
to start with is paper developer. Is this so?
I go through paper developer and fixer the fastest.
When mixing either from scratch, how much time does it take to mix
say two litres of each?
Thanks
P.S Thanks Nick for the tip on the book. I just ordered it now.
