ok so havent been using it but gonna start... my problem is that it says 1/2 teaspoon per 15 gallons. i have a 1.5L bottle that i was planning to use... im sure i could find a 2L or 4L bottle... but even in a 4L bottle thats 0.14ml or 3% of a teaspoon ... meassring this would be quite hard lol so do i just put a few drops? any danger in using too much? how bad is it if i dont use it/use too little?

Okay, this may be a bit confusing, and if my math is way out of whack, please feel free to correct me Here is a site I like to use when doing conversions.http://www.onlineconversion.com/cooking_volume.htmBased on info from this site, 1 tsp = 96 dropsso 1/2 tsp = 48 drops. 48 divided by 15 (because 1/2 tsp makes 15 gallons) = 3.2 drops per gallon.1.5 litres = .396 gallons so you would multiply 3.2 drops x .396 gallons = 1.26 dropsI would probably round up to two drops per 1.5 litres instead of trying to measure out .26 of a drop LOL (not that anyone would, I'm just being silly-and I'm not too good at it either)

20 drops per ml from a standard pipette or dropper, so one drop per gallon would be adequate, but two drops per gallon is what I would do anyway.
