Default Reducing fog in expired film

I have a bunch of long expired film that I'm working on developing. To keep things simple I'm using D76 diluted 1:1 and am
having problems with fogging. I know that Benzotriazol should help and that Potasium Bromide may help. Does anyone
have experience with either approach or have other suggestions? I'm also interested in home much much I can add to
the stock D76.

I don't think there is much else you can do. Once the film is fogged whatever you do to reduce it will reduce shadow detail. If the fog isn't too severe you can just go up a paper grade or 2 to get decent results when printing. I hope this helps.
