I have pickled cucumbers a few different times throughout my life. Every time they taste too much like vinegar, but I don't think the salt or sugar is off. How long do I need to wait? Is that the answer to a more even brine? In reference to a typical half and half water/vinegar brine. It's well seasoned with peppercorns, etc. My question is purely for how the vinegar flavor gets rounded out. Is it just time?
