I have a girl with sour crop. I have the ACS powder but have not used it in quite a while for this. I found this post by TwoCrows from last year....Am I understanding this correctly that I don't have to dilute it further and can give this mixture as my girl's drinking water??

Get an empty 1 gallon jug, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of the copper, add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar to cut the bitter taste. Use this mix for 7-10 days, she can drink nothing else. Sometimes you have to get the started on it, I drizzle a bit of it in the mouth so they aren't afraid to taste it. Pour a new bit from this jug daily. After she can go 2 or 3 days with an empty crop (and you can only check a crop for emptiness first thing in the morning,) then you can stop using it. Don't go past 10 days however. Use probiotics for 1 week daily after the treatment is done.
 
Acidified copper sulfate dosage is 1/4 tsp per gallon of water for 5-7 days. It usually does not need to be acidified further with vinegar, unless you use copper sulfate that is not acidified. Do not ever use just copper sulfate that is not acidified. What product do you have?
