I've done a search (in the forums) about "longevity of Metol" and it seems to turn brown when kaput. I have some that is getting rather old in the tooth (>6 months) stored in small brown glass bottle, still white. Three grams added to 20 oz. of distilled water (with a pinch of Sodium Sulfite) turned a dark tea color. Adding in the rest of the sodium sulfite (D76H was the target developer) the resulting liquid turned black.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
