haha sophisto ratios are one thing i do not do, im sorry i cant give you exact numbers. its just not how i garden. its all touch and feel and visual.
for example the recipe above says 2 lbs of nettles to 2.5 gallons of water. i dont add that much, maybe 1 lb of fresh plant matter, 1/4 lb of dried? see i dont even know never measured it. there making a really strong brew with 2 lbs in only 2 gallons. they only say to brew for a few days as well. i have used nettle tea that has been soaking for a month. then when its gone i refill and get a second batch out of it sometimes. the general rule is the stronger you make it the more you have to dilute it. and also try not to use it when its fermenting ( when you shake it bubbles like crazy ) or you will have to dilute more its a bit more unstable. best used when the liquid starts to turn clear.
