2. Dirty vegetables, herbs and jars
Before canning, all ingredients should be washed thoroughly, as poorly washed vegetables can cause a fermentation reaction and the marinade will become cloudy.

Another cause of cloudy brine is poorly sealed jars due to a bad key. In such cases, air can get into them and fermentation can begin. In order to make sure that the jars are well and tightly sealed, they should be placed upside down for a day.
4. Non-compliance with the proportions
Another reason for explosion can be a failure to comply with the proportions of salt or vinegar during preparation.
