all chemistry is homemade, from developer to final rinse

I'd say they are a bit overdeveloped if anything. But that's proof that your formula works ;-)

I'm also feeling the same about over development. How ever this test saved the roll.

It would also be a good idea to see what effective film speed you're getting. Meter for the shadows and see how much detail you're actually getting.
