So, I just don't think it is the right time to Ferment cucumbers. I don't see any improvement from the first trial.
Observations:
The water appears foggy, there has been discoloration in the pickles and dill. The garlic is still white. This time I tried to put bigger pieces of garlic to see if that will have any affect, it didn't. The pickles are soft, I wanted them to be crunchy. Everything rose to the top of the jar and once I opened it bubbles started to come from the bottom of the jar to the top. The smell is quite pleasant actually, like real pickles, which is an improvement from last time, although the taste is not good. This time I even used a pickle jar that has pickles in it, not washed out, before to see if that would have some positive impact in at least the water's taste.
Final Thoughts:
Even though things didn't come out as planned, I enjoyed this project and look forward to trying it again in the summer, maybe follow a different recipe. I am hesitant to bring it to class today but I have to show off at least my effort if nothing else!
