It's not absolutely necessary. Sometimes I just let things float but this time I didn't. Dill seeds, a chopped garlic bulb and a bunch of fresh dill are floating around and a couple teabags as well

I like to see things floating around. Since I rarely label, I like to easily distinguish between flavors when I make another batch. Plus, I usually use 2 to 3 times the amount of herbs you could fit in a sachet that size. I hope they come out well. Good job on making pickles.

Add more garlic. I'm with MtB on this, for a batch that big don't skimp on the herbs or in a month you're still going to have 20lbs of cucumbers.

I love me some full sours. I get some nice Kosher dills with loads of garlic. How I miss those.

and with the jar so cloudy you can barely see in the jar.
