How do you adjust the pickle salt? How much salt do you add to 1 liter? I don't have any adjustments. Am I adding too much salt?


It depends on what you are pickling and personal tastes. So you need to look up multiple recipes for the vegetables you want to pickle. You will find that different recipes use different amounts. That's because part of the equation is personal preference.
You just have to pick one that sounds right for you and try it. Unfortunately the fermentation process takes a long time, so during your experiments you have to wait a long time to know the results. You can try making multiple batches at the same time, with different concentrations to see how they turn out.
It's a ratio by weight, not volume. The weight includes both the water and vegetables since vegetables are mostly water. The concentration might be as low as 2-3% or as high as 6%. I've seen recipes calling for as much as 10%. Ideally use pickling salt because it's pure salt and fine grained.
Make sure your jar, lid and fermentation weight are sanitized, the same as if you were canning. Use the fermentation weight to make sure the vegetables are fully submerged in the brine. You do not want air getting to the vegetables which can cause them to mold.
I think James The Foodie explained it quite well.
Thanks for the MHO

The salt quantity in pickling is crucial to achieve the desired taste and preservation. Typically, 5 to 6% salt in weight is standard. For 1 liter of liquid, this means you'll need approximately 50 to 60 grams of salt. This amount helps in fermentation and flavor balance, but taste preferences can vary. Always taste and adjust if necessary. Remember that some vegetables may require slightly different amounts to achieve your desired result. 🥒🧂
