Commercially, we tip both in at the crusher. However, we make up separate
buckets of each (enzyme and PMS). As Lum says, it is safest to add any
additive separately, even if they are being added at the same time.
You _can_ add PMS and acid in the same bucket, but I'd rather not be around
when you do...
