All,
To use pickling lime as opposed to Kalkwasser, what is the amount per gallon of pickling lime? Thanks, Joe ------------------ Never explain: Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe it anyway. |

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.

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.
