Hi.
To replace 2.5 g of silver leaf gelatin with fish gelatin powder, you can follow this general conversion:
1. Silver leaf gelatin has a bloom strength of 160, while fish gelatin powder typically has a lower bloom (usually between 120 and 150). This affects its gelling power, so you’ll need to adjust the quantity slightly.
2. Equivalent Amount: If your fish gelatin powder has a bloom strength close to 150, you can use the same amount in grams, which is 2.5 g of gelatin powder. However, if it’s a bit weaker, use around 2.8 g to achieve a similar gelling effect.
3. Hydration: To use the powdered gelatin, first hydrate it with 5 times its weight in cold water before adding it to the recipe.
I hope this information is helpful.
Best regards.
