Place a lid on top of the tank, and then wrap it on all sides with a large warm blanket.
While the cucumbers are being cooked, it is necessary to sterilize the jars and cook the marinade.
To prepare a delicious marinade for cucumbers, you need to have sugar and salt per 10 liters of liquid - 1 0.5 liter jar each, essence - 5 tbsp. l. Boil all the ingredients, then add vinegar and let it boil again.

All that remains is to add boiling marinade to the preparations, seal, turn over and cover with a thick feather bed or pillows.
You can move the cucumbers into the pantry when they have cooled completely.
