Brine solution is made by dissolving 2 tablespoons of salt into a quart of water.
Cover and let the pickles sit until the desired level of fermentation is reached. They will be cloudy and bubbly.
It usually takes 5 to 10 days for pickles to ferment enough for a good, snappy taste. At this point you can put them in the fridge. They’ll continue to ferment but much more slowly.

Do you need to refrigerate these or can you process them ?
Fermented pickles are rich in healthy probiotics. Processing will preserve the flavor but reduce the probiotic. I usually put them in the fridge.
