Pickle question with citric acid

[bigben2057]

Ive never used citric acid but is it the same formula as saftee? 1lbs of salt per gallon of water and .5 oz of acid? What mixture should i use?

[Frank E. Kotula]

Citric is generally and I've only seen it in a powder form to where saftee acid comes in a liquid. I don't use any formals oer say but measure the salt content with a salimeter and then the acid with Ph strips. The formula is a general start but always check it with a meter and Ph strips.

OK i have pH strips to measure the acid, but should i just use 1lbs of salt per gallon because I don't have a salt meter.

[J Brown II]
