Steps:

• Place water, salt, and garlic into a large saucepan. Add cloves, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns. Stir until salt is dissolved. Heat over low for just a few minutes to bring water to room temperature. The water should not be warm.
• Place some dill flowers in the bottom of a jar or crock large enough to hold the cucumbers, spices, and some brine. Place a few of the cucumbers on top of the dill weed. Alternate layers of dill flowers and cucumbers, ending with a layer of dill. Pour pickling brine into the crock. Gently tap or shake the crock to eliminate any air bubbles. Weigh down the pickles with a small ramekin to ensure they stay below the surface of the brining liquid. Top with more brine. Reserve any extra brine to add if necessary during the fermentation process. Cover crock.
• Place crock where it can ferment at a temperature between 65 and 75 degrees F. Let pickles ferment for a week, checking every day to ensure pickles remain submerged. Small bubbles may appear; this is a normal product of the fermentation process. Add more brine if necessary.
• After about 8 days, you can skim off the foam. Test a pickle for flavor and crunch. You can continue fermenting them for a couple more days or, if you like them at this point, transfer pickles to a large jar. Fill jar with the brine from the fermentation process.

Steps:

• For the salt brine: Wash the cucumbers and using a paring knife, cut 1/16-inch slice off the blossom end (the end that was attached to the plant) of each and discard. Place the prepared cucumbers in a large container. Dissolve the salt in 2 gallons of room temperature water, then pour over the cucumbers and set aside for 12 hours in refrigerator. Drain, discarding the brine.
• Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or line it with a clean towel. (This is to prevent the jars from directly touching the surface.) Set aside.
• For the vinegar brine: Combine 2 quarts water with the vinegar, salt and sugar in a large non-reactive pot. Tie the mixed pickling spices in a cheesecloth and add to the pot. Heat the mixture to boiling.
• Meanwhile, place the canning rack in the canner and fill the pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat.
• Place 8 clean pint jars (see Cook's Notes) on the prepared baking sheet. (This will help contain any dribbles or spills and prevent the jars from directly touching the metal.) Place 1 clove of garlic, 1 teaspoon mustard seed, 2 heads fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dill seeds and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes into the bottom of each of the 8 sterilized pint jars. Add the drained cucumbers.
• For each jar, insert a canning funnel and carefully ladle in the vinegar, allowing at least 1/2 inch of headroom. Clean the rims of the jars with a clean, damp towel and tightly secure the lids.
• Using tongs, place the jars on the rack in the canner. The water should cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Cover the canner. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for 10 minutes (at altitudes less than 1,000 feet elevation; see Cook's Note). Using tongs, transfer the jars to a towel to cool. If the seal works and fits properly, the metal lid will be slightly concave within 24 hours of processing. Store in a cool dark place for up to 1 year.
