1. Pickled and pickled cucumbers are not the same thing. For the preparation of the former, vinegar or citric acid is used, and for the latter, only salt.

Jars of cold pickled cucumbers are closed with nylon lids and kept in the cold. Jars of cucumbers filled with hot water are rolled up with iron lids and can be stored at room temperature.
4. To make pickles thick and crispy, soak them in ice water for 3-4 hours. You can keep it longer, especially if purchased cucumbers.

Either it will be done right in the bottle, or in a separate bowl. One way or another, cucumbers salted in this way can be twisted with lids and closed with plastic lids. Add two tablespoons of salt per liter of water. Cucumbers are fermented whole or cut. We shift them with garlic, pepper, spices, herbs, bay leaves, etc. Fill with brine and keep in a warm place for several days. Then you need to put it in a cold place.

This amount of cucumbers will take about 5 liters of brine. Cover the top with washed grape leaves.

It is important to place some kind of weight on top of the vessel. If not, then a three-liter jar full of water, installed on something flat, will do. In a warm place, salt the cucumbers for 5 days (if it's cool, and 2-3 if it's warm). Don't worry if you see a white coating on the water, it's lactic acid bacteria. Cucumbers can be eaten even after 3 days. But if you want to prepare them for the winter, then salt the brine, rinse all the contents (except greens) and jars with boiling water (sterilize the jars and lids), and then fill them with boiled brine (you can do this twice) and roll up the lids. We keep them upside down under the covers, and then send them to the shelves. It's okay if the brine gets cloudy. Then all this will precipitate. And in winter, delicious crispy pickles await you.
