Guest guest Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Ok grape leaves are in the crock with the cucumbers and spices. I have a glass bowl with water in it and a lid as my weight to keep the cucumbers in the brine. Its covered with a with a white dish clothe held in place by a rubber band. We are on day five. I check it every day. The last few days it has been a little slimy and bubbly on top. I wash the weight off and put it back each time. I tried a bit of one yesterday. I sliced off part of one. It was still cucumbery but getting a little pickly. So i figure I'm on track. Is it suppose to be slimy like that? t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've had ferments get slimy when the house is very warm, not so much in the cooler fall. I am not an expert but just my experience.
