How do you mix your Kalk? Do you add a carbon source?

I no longer add a carbon source, no need my levels stay where they need to be without. I instead added more LR and a BW bio brick.
I use a Kalk Stirrer now for the addition of Kalk, far easier and more consistant always full saturation.
When I did add carbon I was adding it to the kalk mix to over saturate as my evaporation rate was not great enough to keep up with alk and calcium demand. I was at 12ml per gallon vinegar with 2.3 tsp per gallon Kalk.
