I just found a 1/2 Gallon of Tmax Developer mixed 1:4 in a long term storage bin. 😱
I mixed it 12-25-2011

My old routine was to mix up a pair of half gallons at a time, cap and label one for later use while using the first. This way I always had one at full strength.
With Tmax at 1:4 one can re-use and develop several rolls before discarding the solution.
Anyway,... the bottle was overlooked and never used.

I hear no bubbles in the bottle... it's completely full of liquid and airtight.
My storage area is in the basement on a slab floor so temps over the years have been between 50f-75f.

I'm going to try it which will eventually answer the question which I will ask anyway....

What can I expect? 😱 😛

My first thought is how did you manage to sneak away from the festivities for some cheeky film development on Christmas day? I would be crucified.

My second thought is that you will be the first to know how it goes! I would suspect it will be okay if there is no air in it but I would run a test roll.
