I used table salt the first time since then I just dump the glass vile of eggs straight into my tank and hope for the best, no luck tho please give me the idiots guide to hatching brine shrimp
 
There's several writeups on how to do it online, just google it. I use a 2 liter bottle, add 1.5 tablespoons of salt, a pinch of baking soda, 1/8 tsp of brine shrimp eggs, and add aeration to keep the eggs moving around in the water.

After about 24 hours or so, I turn the air off, wait 10 min for the unhatched eggs to sink and the egg casings to float, then I take a syringe or turkey baster and suck the live brine shrimp out of the middle/near the bottom. I squirt that into a coffee filter and if I didn't get too many egg shells/unhatched eggs then I just dip the filter into the tank that needs fed.
