What precise amount do you need to get it up to an SG of 1.026? The instructions are kind of cryptic since I don't have digital scale handy: "1 kg per 24.2 litres of water".

Well, 9 cups to approx 15 gallons of water works for me. ( gets me close anyhow!)

The container that I use is 3.75 cubic ft = 106 liter or 28.05 Gallon I don't fill it to the top with water so 100 liters or 26 Gallon. and I mix 12 cups salt that gives me 1.025. But I always check my mix the next day with a refractometer. hmm now just reading the lasts post tells me how important a reliable testing regiment for mixing water is.

I put 2 1/2 cups per 5g. On a deep six reads .022 constant.

Ian, your using H2Ocean? Where do you get it? I use Instant Ocean, and am close to needing another bucket
PS, sorry about the last Wendell order/trip. I got busy and totally forgot all about calling him.
