BRS Bulk Calcium turned rock hard...

[ps2cho]

Its about 2-years old now and it seems to have turned into a solid clump. I was smashing it with a knife, but it took me 20-mins to get enough to make 1 gallon.

Has anybody run into this and have a recommendation on any way to break this stuff up at all? Or should I consider just throwing it away? Might stick with the pre-portioned 1gal packets going foward so this doesn't happen.

Might be the AZ Heat in the summer as the garage gets 120-140F.

Happened to me already I did the same thing you did smash it.

Try using a flat hole bit in a drill, just use slow speed on the frill and get one bog enough to do whatever container it is in in portions. It shaves off the top layer and is a lot faster then chipping at it

I think I remember a BRS video where they recommend floating the container in hot water if it solidifies. Not sure though

That’s for if it happens when you mix it and all did not desolve then you would sit it in warm water

Great idea - this is exactly the fix I was looking for!
