Instead of putting 5g every 8 /16 fl ounce, can I dump a certain amount of grams ( a lot more ) in a gallon of water ?

Or does it not work like that

from what i have experienced from creatine i would say no... because i would think in such a big container like a gallon it would all go to the bottom of it and not dissolve that good

i have never tried it in a gallon though just more my opinion of what i would think would happen

Just dump five grams in your mouth nah im sayn. Sip of water and swallow.

Going off your op, there'd be no advantage to your method if that's what you're getting at assuming you'd drink it all in one day.
Don't think there's any evidence showing higher than five grams to be superior

i always just take a sip of water, hold it, cock my head back and dump in a scoop, swish it around, and swallow

(that's what she said)

i find that even the micronized mono creatine will settle when mixed or shaken. thats why i just take it as a shot post workout

It will degrade over time in water. The reason it's powdered is to make it stable for long term storage

for one thing you should take it with some CHO to make it absorb better. that's info from the mid 90s.

for another, if you plan to store it in liquid you're doing it wrong

take it the same day -- the same hour -- you mix it

and unless you've gotten the runs from it, don't assume you will

a lot of people report that the malate version doesn't give them the runs if hydrate/phosphate do

the 5g/d limit thing is just speculative. if you're going under 5g, you may fail to see optimal gains. i've seen studies going of 30g/d without side effects reported but i'm also not going to say that i think it's a wise choice to go that high.
