I grow my own cucumbers, slice them on my mandolin, and then pickle them. Nothing beats my pickles. Nothing.

Except maybe my sourdough: https://i.imgur.com/bZ59IR3.jpeg

I’ve done “lacto fermentation” before, and it’s good, but a bit of a pita, wait too long.

Been just making quick fridge pickles recently and it’s 180.

I like doing that. You can play w flavors and colors too. I’ve made pickled beets, then used same brine to make cucumber pickles and celery.

Jalapeños and garlic in pickles is 180 too.

What’s your favorite things to pickle, friend?

Can put it on a lot and adds great flavor

Ty for reminding me. Haven’t done this in awhile.

Enough said

Have you tried doing it with oil? Takes a few weeks, but also 180

Have to use dried peppers, not fresh, of course

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5729564&forum_id=2betting#48958947)

I have some fresher ones and some that are several years old, where just a few drops are enough.

Also, I haven’t done this in a long time, but dropping some dried habaneros in vodka ’makes it insanely hot, so you have to mix w something else.

That’s lactose fermentation right.

I think I’m not patient enough to wait 4-5 days.

I did it a few times, and I know it’s really good for your stomach but the fridge pickle tastes just as good, and takes less than a day to make. Also don’t have to worry about exact salt ratio and having everything covered w liquid and taking care of off gassing etc.

The thing about pickles though is you have to move fast. I let sauerkraut go at least 30 days, but pickles only take a day or two to get funky, then you need to refrigerate them and stop the fermentation before it gets out of control. I think 2-3 days is the sweet spot.
