I inoculated quart jars cukes with 2 oz ea brine of an active ferment that
had started with Kefir curds a couple weeks prior. Basic recipe makes
incredible dill pickles in 5-6 weeks & my grandkids love them.  My grandson
loves the hot stuff, but daughter not so much (yet) except for my milder
salsas.

5 pods ea variety per jar.  Cut a slit in each one. I added a lot more dill
weed after the picture.

I don't use central air so the room temps are usually around 85° & the
fermentations start really fast.  Lots of carbon dioxide bubbles even after
only 24 hours.  If don't have a Kefir culture or live yogurt (it's the
lactic acid bacteria we want) for inoculating...  use sourdough 'hooch'.
Easy to make and even a little faster than the Kefir.

Pretty much what I did...

inoculant which for some reason is missing in the recipe.
