Vinegar stop bath
Recently I learned you can use diluted vinegar essence as the stop bath when developing film1. That comes in timely since I’m running out of the dedicated stop bath chemical very soon.
I know some people simply use water as a stop bath. And I was contemplating trying this approach. But I often read it’s not ideal, because it’ll exhaust the fixer more quickly. And since I now found out about the vinegar approach, I think I’m going to try that instead.
In the (German) video, they don’t tell exactly how much diluted: the only say “a dash of vinegar”. On another site I’m told roughly 1 tablespoon on a litre of water. ↩︎
