I switched to Diamond Crystal kosher salt a year or two ago to get away from the additives - can't say if it tastes different or not though.

But fermenting is a different process. The additives are going to behave differently under these conditions where we are using live bacteria to sour the cucumbers.
Gotcha.

Thanks for the clarification.
