Default Salt

I used h20ocean salt for about a year and it mixed 4 half cups to make 4 gallons almost every single time.

Start with 2 cups (the actual 250ml cup) per 5 gallon. H20cean seems to vary a bit from batches to batches by a bit. My previous batch made 1.026 @ 2cups/gallon while the new match needs 2.3 cups/gallon.

Yap IO is synthetic but h2ocean is solar evaporated, leading to different particle size. If you measure it my weight, you will be consistent but measuring by volume can differ between batches due to different particle size.
