How do I calculate the amount of water needed for curing using the calculator. For example, if I use the calculator and input 5lbs/2267.95 grams and calculate I see my totals:
Cure - 5.66 Salt - 40.05 Sugar - 22.68 for a total of 2336.3 grams. Is the total the amount used to calculate the amount of water needed. In this case 82.41 ounces or a little over a half of gallon. I realize that when you cure anything you need to make sure that it is covered but I was curious how do you know how much water to mix. If not, how do you calculate how much water you need.
