Pickle Fail!

It's been two weeks for my last batch of spicy pickles so today it was time to see how they turned out. For the first time since starting to experiment with fermenting I had a big fail. Biting into the first pickle my mouth was instantly filled with pickle mush. Do not try to use normal cucumbers for pickles, lesson learned. :)

The good news is that despite the pickles being way too mushy it is a properly spicy mush. Going with the habanero and the red pepper flakes in the jar set the spice level to where I like it. Now to find some pickling cucumbers!
