Wow! Did you make those? I recognize the pressure thingy on the top from when I made pickles last.
Yep!
I only just started the ferment a few hours ago. I normally use these jars to make Kombucha, the airlock is for making it alcoholic.
My brother and sister in law accidentally grew an insane number of cucumbers so this seemed like a good way to save them from being wasted.
This is called "gardening" lol.
I've never met anyone that has grown only their needed amount of cucumbers, tomatoes, or peppers. You either get a handful of dollhouse sized food, or a metric fuckton that you pawn off on your friends/families/co-workers.
They bought seeds that were incorrectly packaged was the main problem, so they grew twice as many cucumber plants as intended.
