Premixing Ilford stock developer?

[welly]

Hey guys,

I've got some medium format films I'm planning on processing fairly soon. Question about developer - I've got some Ilford Ilfotec LC29 developer concentrate. Is it worth premixing the stock and then using that when I develop or am I as good as just using the developer out of the bottle but obviously reducing the amount to suit?

Cheers!

LC-29 is a one shot developer. Only mix as much as you plan on using for each developing session. Discard after use.

The stock solution will last longer on the shelf if it is not mixed with water.
