Same as kalkwasser: 1.5 tsp/gal is all that will dissolve at room temperature for the most part. I usually use 2 tsp/gal just to play it safe so I know that I have a saturated solution.
hth,

All,
To use pickling lime as opposed to Kalkwasser, what is the amount per gallon of pickling lime?
Thanks,
Joe

yep - pickling lime IS kalwasser. Kalkwasser is German meaning literally "lime water". Any form of calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide is considered kalkwasser. I use Mrs. Wages but Balls is supposed to work just as well.

I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.

I also use 2 tsp/gal...it's so cheap that I don't care if I waste some.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger...like lifting those salt buckets.
Grocery Store(Albertson's here) in the canning section. Where the Mason Jars are.
