Dave, directions for my ferment, pickling is 2 tbls to 4 qts. spring or distilled water. Use celtic sea salt. Dirty looking. They say is full of minerals which is great for ferment and your gut.
Dave..... Salt is different densities... Using weights would maybe help you out...
Salt additions should be weighed to have consistency between types of salt
Salt Type ..........................................Weight of 1/4 cup (grams)
Morton’s Table Salt..................................... 76.0
Morton Pickling Salt.................................... 74.0
La Baleine Coarse Sea Salt.........................66.8
La Baleine Fine Sea Salt............................ 64.8
Morton’s Kosher Salt.................................. 62.0
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt..................... 45.2
Maldon Sea Salt......................................... 33.2
The above lists 2 sea salts... 33 to 67 grams per 1/4 cup is a BIG difference...
1/4 cup = 4 Tbs...
33/4 = 8.25 grams per Tbs.. = 2.75 grams per tsp...
