1 tsp changes your SG of 1 gallon from 1.019 to 1.027?
Is that what your saying?
Sounds like a pretty big swing for one little tsp.
I suspect one of your hydrometer readings was erroneous.
I suggest you try again.
Like some other members are saying here, it can't be that difficult to figure out. Just keep adding small amounts of salt, and recording how much you add, until you get the SG you want. Then, whenever you make a new batch just add the amount that you determined is required for 1 gallon.
I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the problem here.
