You still have at least a week to go or possibly 2 with that recipe (it says 3-4 weeks at 70-75).

But just because you can see any activity doesn't mean it isn't happening. I use a big dark brown Harsch-like crock so couldn't ever see any activity anyway. But it always works. :)

But you can pull the plate and weights to check them if you wish. Any time after 7 days you can take one out and taste it even. Then give it another week.

Fermentation doesn't operate on any sort of specific timetable. While temperature is a significant factor, local conditions can also affect the pace. As long as the cucumbers smell and taste good, they're on the right track.

Thanks Dave and Carol. That's kind of what I thought but it's nice to hear it from the two of you. This is the first time I've tried it and I'm excited to see how they turn out. I'd really hate to have to dump 2 gallons of bad cukes!
