IPA Pickles?!?

[STK]

I love pickles and, needless to say, beer, so I will be trying this soon.

The last thing I thought when I joined HBT a few days ago, was that I would be making pickles.

I've just started a batch of lacto-fermented pickles with several large wet hops cones in the crock... This is just cukes, garlic, dill, black pepper, salt, water, and some Chinook. Will post tasting notes in a week or so!

Been almost 2 weeks. Came out pretty decent but need to cut the apple cider vinegar down a bunch from the OG recipe and maybe up the beer.
Good enough to eat for sure. Thanks op.

Just did this again with a few changes, the biggest using pickling vinegar instead of Apple. Also cut them smaller.

We'll see in a few weeks how it goes. One day I'll get back to Tired Hands not only for the beer but for the bet pickles I've ever had.

Looking to try making pickles. I'm only so-so on them, but the kids love them. I wanted to put a batch together last night, but due to my schedule I waited too long and the pickle cukes went bad.

Can't decide between cold process pickles, or hot bath pickles. Hot bath would probably keep longer, but I hear they get soft. Nobody enjoys a soft pickle.

Zing!

Calcium chloride really helps keep pickles crisp. I just stir it into the brine.

Some friends are gathering at my new place this afternoon to have a pickling party making these with Torpedo, and centennial hops. Though I'm intrigued about using Odd Side's Citra Pale and some Citra Hops.... Anyone done these with citra?

Mom made'em both ways. I gotta look through her old cookbooks I inherited for the recipes she wrote in the margins. Her icebox pickles were great with a cold beer after work while waiting on the bbq. Her hot bath garlic dills were good, but the ice box style were crunchy, fresh & garlicy.

I just borrowed this idea for some jalapeno slices I was pickling. I did the equivalent of 3 half pints of peppers, but put one half pint's worth in a pint jar, and added enough homegrown cascade, chinook, and nugget to fill the jar. So basically, it's half peppers, half hops. I'm really looking forward to comparing them to their hop-free counterparts.

Just put on a batch of pickles with Bridge Hopilano IPA (Vancouver, BC, CA). SMELLS good! Cannot wait to give them a try. Threw in some fresh dill, coriander seeds and some smashed garlic. Now I just wanna watch them and wait...

I reckon Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA is appropriate for pickles

Torpedo ends up being my goto IPA for these. Enjoy!
