New to pickling and first jar was a bust. Help please! pickling

I am new to pickling and just tasted my first jar of refrigerator pickled cucumbers today (they sat for three weeks). It just tastes like vinegar. Did I not let them sit long enough? Bad recipe?

4 lbs pickling cucumbers 3 cups apple cider or white vinegar (or combination) 4 cups water 1/4 cup pickling or kosher salt 2 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional) 12 fresh dill sprigs and/or heads 12 garlic cloves 6 teaspoons dill seed 3 teaspoons black peppercorns 1-1/2 teaspoons red chili flakes optional: 3/4 teaspoon Pickle Crisp granules

Thank you :)
