Read your recipe last Thursday evening, picked up about 3-1/2 pounds of pickling cucumbers and some fresh garlic at my local 'farm store' on Friday afternoon, and had everything submerged by Saturday morning. <br /><br />With ten cloves of garlic, I did wonder about the potential for 'aromas' to be an issue, but was pleasantly surprised on that score - there was a very slight 'earthy' odor, but nobody else in the house seemed bothered. Taste-tested a pickle last night & decided thsy needed another day, but this evening, they are UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! <br /><br />Followed your recipe to the letter except added 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (per your recommendation & Alton Brown's measurements), since we love things just a little bit spicy around here. Thankfully, had no issues with mold or mess - may have to go back to the farm store tomorrow for another batch, since these will certainly disappear quickly! Thank you so much for the perfect end-of-summer idea. :)<br /><br />(Deleted & reposted this since my first attempt had an embarrassing typo!)Janihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11080938612017195798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-40057795407136793732015-09-17T22:20:44.673-04:002015-09-17T22:20:44.673-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Janihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11080938612017195798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-67852325795215339522015-09-17T15:32:48.768-04:002015-09-17T15:32:48.768-04:00This looks like a grand science experiment!

I just tried something similar, kimchi (made with cabbage; you leave it out on the counter to ferment for a few days) and I would say it was a success :) Next year when we have cukes again I should try doing pickles, because I bet they're yummy.

So.... not too late this year. Thanks again for the wonderful reminder.
