Standard Ratio of Ingredients

A generally accepted ratio of ingredients by weight for a given amount of water is:

• 50% of bones (by weight)
• 10% of Mirepoix (by weight)
• 40% water (by weight)

For example, to produce 2.6 gallons (10 liters) of finished stock, you will need 11 pounds (5 kilos) of bones and 2.2 pounds (1 kg) of Mirepoix.
