Sour dill pickles in fermenting crock

Tried my hand at fermenting pickles for the first time.
Used my old fermenting crock in which I make sauerkraut every year.
It turned out great and will be making it again!

Best temperature for fermenting is 18-22 degrees Celsius. Avoid temperatures above 26 Celsius.

Homemade Crock Dill Pickles - Amazing Fermented Pickles

This video shows how to make Dill Pickles in a crock using the old method of fermentation. That means, that there is no vinegar to sour the pickles, just salt water brine. The flavor is so amazing and texture so crispy, you will never buy store-brought pickles again. This is a 3 week fermentation process that calls for the freshest, garden picked cucumbers. Try these full flavored, crunchy pickles!
