Pa’s Black Bull injection help

[Grimpuppy]

I have Pa’s Black Bull soluble that I want to inject a brisket with. The bag says one gallon for a 15% pump. I am not sure what that means. Any suggestions on how much seasoning to mix with water to inject one briskett?

Grimpuppy the entire bag of seasoning is to be mixed with 1 gallon of cold water, I would say distilled just like when doing sausage. Surely you will not need that much to inject the brisket. You can just do the math and break it down for seasoning vs water. If you have a 5 lb roast you need to pump it till it weighs 5.75 lbs. total weight. .75 lbs is 15% of the meat weight. If the roast weighs 10 lbs you would inject until it weighs 11.5lbs total weight. 15% of 10lb is 1.5lbs. Hope this makes sense and I’m not confusing you even more.

Thanks for the information! My plan was mixing a gallon up and use as needed for meat block weight x 15%. I better let my wife know I was right about something today. She thought it meant you use a 15% solution.
