Yup. That is fine, in fact I use that basic procedure. I keep adding eggs to my 2 gallon bucket, but don't add all of the lime water initially. I add a quart of pre-mixed lime water when needed so I don't have to reach way down into lime water to add the new eggs.
Thanks for letting me know there is a master thread! I will check it out!That is normal it never dissolves totally.
We generally just stack the eggs into the jar and when full we fill with the premix lime water solution to cover the eggs and screw the lid on.
Yes. This is normal. I strongly suspect that means that we are actually using more lime than necessary, but I have never tested the theory. The point is that the water is very basic due to the lime and prevents bacteria/etc. from surviving and getting to the eggs.

Thank you. I sure wish recipes would specify. Ounces are always tricky..
