Secondly, is that one of the NOVA trimate's or a tray warmer? I know what you mean about he content of pictures but thats my excuse for taking ever more...surely I'll hit a good shot one time.

Steve,
I used trial and error to start with, and managed to find the colour balance very quickly with the help of some instructions downloaded from the internet. I now stick to Kodak Ektar and the same paper and brew you are using so that the filtration is constant at 40 magenta 45 yellow. Unfortunately I have just had to replace the bulb in the enlarger so it may need adjustment.
I use the Nova Trimate, which gives a constant 45 degrees with about 1 1/2 hours warm up. Develop for 45 seconds and stop 30 seconds and fix for 60 seconds.
Regards,
Paul
