Encapsulated Citric Acid

[1GRINDER]

I want to do a 5lb. test batch of Summer Sausage. What is the conversion for the ECA for my 5 lbs meat block? Can I just divide the 4oz per 25# by 5?

1GRINDER Conversion chart is here for additives https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/811/additive-conversion-chart for Encapsulated Citric Acid it would be 0.8 of an oz for a 5 lb batch. Math would be 4 / 25 then X the size of your bacth (in your case 5 lb) so 0.8 of an oz.
