Making a simple brine is an essential step but it’s often difficult to find the ratio of salt and water required.
Here’s my simple salt/water brine calculator.
(based on 1 litre of water)
Just multiply by the amount of water you use – i.e. for two litres of water, multiply the amount of salt required by 2
| Concentration | Salt Required |
| 10% | 29g |
| 20% | 57g |
| 30% | 88g |
| 40% | 122g |
| 50% | 156g |
| 60% | 193g |
| 70% | 232g |
| 80% | 273g |
| 90% | 318g |
| 100% | 368g |
