Small cucumbers are packed with dill, garlic and spices under a salt brine and left to sour. Pulled after a few days and chilled they are half-sours, only partly soured; left three to six weeks they become full-sours, sour through and olive-green. Made in 6 steps over 4.9 months – 7.6 months. The longest step, refrigerate or can, takes 4–6 months (National Center for Home Food Preservation (U…). Salt is 7 % (National Center for Home Food Preservation (U…). Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and related species and Lactic acid bacteria, which grew during the first week at room temperature do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) tested recipe for full-sour fermented dills, per gallon of container. There is no tested recipe for half-sours, and NCHFP research advises against home methods that ferment a week at room temperature and then refrigerate.

What makes this one different
Half-sours and full-sours are the same pickle stopped at different points. Commercial salt-stock cucumbers ferment in stronger brine in large tanks and are desalted before use; kosher dills ferment with garlic and dill and are eaten straight from the brine.
NCHFP tested the half-sour style 'refrigerator dill', fermented a week at room temperature and then chilled. Listeria monocytogenes grew during the warm week and survived up to 49 days inside the pickles and 91 days on the surface, so NCHFP does not recommend that method. Snyder et al. also flag lightly fermented half-sours as a higher risk, because chilling stops the pH drop before it reaches a safe level. Discard any pickles that turn soft or slimy or smell bad.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, which survived 49 days inside and 91 days on the surface of refrigerator dills; Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Clostridium botulinum, held back once the pH is below 4.6.
