I've recently started liking olives a lot. The problem is that in most delis, here in Brisbane, they're like 20$ a kilo, and that can get a bit pricey. At the farmer's market, I found fresh big green olives for 3.50$/kilo and figured I may as well give home-pickling a go (fresh olives taste horrible). Googling didn't yield much, until I found
this cute and wonderful website.
I followed the recipe exactly and will post here with updates (it takes ~5months to get it edible), changing the brine every month or so. Wish me luck!

(I've since found a source for olives for 5$/kilo for black and 8$/kilo for Kalamata).
