I've seen it before where someone had the weight amounts for different salts. Anyone know where I can find it? I want to weigh out enough salt so I can just dump and mix. TIA

Not sure about weight, but most salts measure to 1/2 cup per gallon. Unless you're talking about making your own salt mix, then I can't help lol

I know the 1/2 cup rule. Someone measured and weighed out several brands. I am going to be mixing a couple of different brands together and I'd like to make bags that will be enough for about 5 gallons each. Weighing the salt should be able to get me closer, but each brand is slightly different. i saw the chart on here a long time ago but I guess i forgot to mark it for future reference.
