Pop’s brine scalable?

[curmudgeonly]

I wonder if I screwed up. This is the first time trying a brine cure for bacon.

I only have a small chunk of belly and didn’t need a gallon of water to cover it, so I cut the recipe in half.

I woke up early this morning thinking maybe I shouldn’t have done that and considered dumping it out and starting over.

Do I need to, or is it okay?

I always mix it by the gallon , because that's what Pop's said to do .
He told me not to make half batches .
