Taste test. A little saltier than I’d prefer. Needs more fermentation (not much zing).

Taste test. It’s good! Really nice bite and zing. Flavours melded nicely. Gonna put in jars then refrigerate until I get back from the next travel and can give them away.

The overly salty that I noticed with the first taste test was not a problem on the second.

Made 8 pint jars.
