    Others may have a scientific answer-- I just dump "some" in the
    crockpot-full of water. I guess I add between a half and three
    quarters of a pound. It has worked fine. If it didn't seem to, I
    would add more... Clearly, the concentration changes as it ages, and
    as water evaporates, so I don't think it is very important. In all
    my time reading this forum, I don't recall ever seeing a thread (or
    a comment) on the dangers of over-strong pickle. Even when I had
    problems with weak joints on a piece I forgot to remove from the
    pickle overnight, and solicited comments here, nobody said, Oh that
    happens when the pickle is too strong. So, anybody care to jump in
    now?
