RE: ammonium citrate recipe?
Paul, 1) Start with 2 liters of distilled water. 2) Dissolve 300 g of dry citric acid. 3a) Slowly add ammonia until fizzing stops. 3b) Call 911 because you will most likely be overcome by ammonia fumes shortly after adding the ammonia. 4) If you are still alive adjust pH with citric acid to adjust the pH to 6.5. These instructions are a variation listed in the 'New Platinum Print' by Sullivan and Weese for making sodium citrate developer.

Hi all... A while back (in the archives) there was a reference to making your own amm citrate using household ammonia and citric acid. However, the reference to the original recipe is no longer available on the internet... Has anyone done this and used it in their workflow? Is it possible to get an exact recipe for doing this...? The original post mentions a citric acid solution and adding ammonia (household ammonia???) but doesn't list % solution for the citric... Anyway, I thought I'd throw this one out there...have a great weekend all... Paul
