Look at you GO !!!! You've learned more in a couple of days than since October 2022. 
Save your reagents - Use a 10mL sample and 1 scoop of powder. 1 drop = .5 FC. 10 drops = 5 FC.
No need for the .2 resolution. Welcome aboard.

interesting - I recently started to do the 10ml sample - but I was still putting in 2 scoops of powder...so I can cut that part back by 1?
Yup. As long as it goes good and pink, you're golden. If not you need a skootch more powder, or FC added *pronto* (situation depending)
Thank you, wasn’t sure how precise we had to be. Full kit arrived yesterday, but I’m out of town so i plan to test Wednesday.

TA will come down as you add acid when pH gets to 8. No need to force pH down to 7. You can, but not necessary. Drop pH to 7.6 when it gets to 8. When TA gets to 60-80, don't drop pH below 7.8...it will likely stabilize between 7.8 and 8. That is ok, any pH in the 7s is just fine.
