Mixing Salt Properly...

[Kurt_Nelson]

There is... once you know how much salt it takes to get to any SG. For example, if you know it takes 2 cups of salt mix in 5 gallons to get to 1.021, then to get to 1.025 it would be...

2 cups * (25/21) = 2.38 cups

The 25/21 is the ratio of salinities, taking only the last two digits.

But even knowing this, it's still important to test your salinity and not assume you got it right.
