I just follow the Randy Holmes-Farley article recipes, so 2.25cups of Alk and 2.5 cups of Ca per gallon.
Mixing is a slight pain, I put half a gallon of RO/DI in the kettle and boil it then mix it all together in a big honking mixing bowl. Even with the warmer water I have to add the Alk part slowly otherwise it clumps up on me.
For Alk it's just baked baking soda from Costco, Ca is from Littlesilvermax. I get MB from LSM as well but don't bother with automated dosing for Mg, just do it by hand.
