I bought pre packaged seasonings for sausage they are for 25lbs   My question is how to break it and the pink salt down to to 3 or 4 lbs per batch I know it probably has been posted I was taking the short cut Thanks for Your help..

Weigh the entire package of mix then divide by 25 then multiply by the number of pounds of meat you want and use that much mix.
Use 1.1 grams of cure #1 per pound of meat.

If it is truly pink salt (6.25% nitrite) then one level teaspoon should be used for 5 pounds of meat.
If you happen to have an accurate high resolution gram scale that'll work even better.
Just use the cure calculator.
