Taste tested the pickles today.
The long sliced ones are dead on but am going to let them ferment for one more day and off to the refrigerator they go.
The flat sliced ones I added one more tablespoon of salt (eyeballed) and swished it around.'
>>>>>Experiment<<<<<<
Here is the deal.
At night when I come home I turn the thermostat down to 70 F.'
In the day time while I am at work it gets turned up to 80 F.
I give this information because temperature is everything.
