Why not just scale up the water? Haven't got a big enough pot?

I have never had a problem using too much salt. I just dump it all in until it won't dissolve... obviously once it cools more salt will drop out. That way you can be sure you have full saturation and... salt is pretty cheap so what r u worrying about? Couldn't see anywhere in the tek that it says salt is "detrimental" as long as you dont add the salt before the acid cook
