Salt in brine
Salt in brine
Trying to wrap my head around the salt required in a specific wet brine and it's ratios. I read that a salinometer is required if you want to make precise brine. I have a specific gravity hydrometer could this be used to measure the salinity of salted water? Tom

Below is a link to a really great illustrated video lecture on the fundamentals of brining. It helped me in a better understanding of the science behind brining. I am also going to try equilibrium brining for the first time so finding this was timely. This is a very useful resource.

For those of you that use a Hydrometer for their beer making and other things this site translates/instructs how to use and read the meter to read the salinity of a brine.
