So I bought some LME and I'm not sure how much water I need to bring it to the proper consistency. Can anyone help?
 
I'm planning on making a braggot from this so there will be honey in there too.
 
It should tell you how many gravity points per gallon somewhere on it.
Does it look like this?

The product info says this"
² Specific Gravity applies to a mixture of 1 lb of extract with 1 gal of water. For 'brewer's points', use the final two digits of the figure."

Your product should be similar. Somewhere it should say (a pound with a gallon of water will give you "X" in Gravity) or PPG(points per pound per gallon) ie a ppg 1.040 or 40 meaning a pound of extract with a gallon of water will give you a gravity reading of 1.040
