Then the remaining cucumbers are poured out, which are covered with a layer of spices.

4. For salting, a prepared solution of salt with spring cold water is used. For 10 liters of water take 800 g of rock salt. This brine pours cucumbers to the edges of the barrel. The lid closes well and the coil is sent to a cool and dark place for the cucumbers to slowly ferment. You can try the cucumbers in two months.

Cucumbers are stored in the same barrel, it is necessary to monitor the appearance of mold and eliminate it in time. An excellent means of combating mold is dry mustard, which every two weeks covers the surface of the open coil.
