So I've made my first attempt and fermenting dill pickles at home. I'm wishing I used dill seeds instead of dried dill weed so I wouldn't have this green cloud in the brine.

Anyone have experience pickling?

Ive done similar with an assortment of vegetables, and twice pickling eggs. I put too much pickling salt in every damn time.

Do you heat your vegetables first?

I heated the brine with the spices to remove the chlorine from the tap water and to kill unwanted germs, apparently the cucumbers have the active germs in their skin so there's no yeast involved.
 
The chlorine already killed the germs LOL. reason I say this is because a very recommended that I give my cats spring water for the minerals, and to add 10-20% tap because the miniscule chlorine will kill the bacteria in the water and keep any more from spawning.
 
I recently got into "quick pickles."

You put your vegetables into a jar with some salt, and then you add boiling water. In two days, they're pickled and ready to eat. They don't last as long, however.

My favorite method is slow cold water fermentation with salt (no vinegar) but I feel like so much can go wrong.
 
Day 4: one of the jars is likely contaminated, I'll try to brine some pickles instead
