i want to know how many grams of spices per kg of meat i can use when making old english sausage.
Use however much spice you like, though I would suggest that you try it as per the original recipe first, fry a small test sample/patty and adjust as/if required. As a rough guide use 15 g of spice mix per kilo of sausage.

how much water can i put in a kg of meat
For the water, opinions vary from 3 % up to 20 %, again I would suggest that you use the water at the level in the original first (370 ml + 30 ml fresh lime/lemon juice which works out approx. 13 %). Note: make sure that the water is CHILLED/ICE COLD potable/unchlorinated water. ie bottled water etc. If in doubt boil it first then chill down to nearly freezing.
ONCE MADE THEY SHOULD BE KEPT OVERNIGHT BEFORE EATING.
Hope that this is of some use to you
kind regards
