Any fermentation experts here?

I tried making sour pickles in the past in mason jars with vented lids, but have never done any big batches.

I just picked up a 10L pickling crock and I'm going to try my hand at it again. Anyone have any favorite recipes? Should I do pickles, sauerkraut, or something else first?

I say sauerkraut first.

Never had trouble with pickles. I have never tried sour pickles before or even heard of them.

I ferment plenty of other things like beer though.

fermented a lot of corn and barley back in the 70's. i make pickles every year but they dont go thru fermentation, i process my dill pickles in vinegar, kosher salt , and hot peppers the same as pepper sauce.pack the jars with fresh cucumbers and few small hot peppers and pour boiling vinegar over them and seal them up.
