IPA Pickles
You'll need 4 x 500 ml Mason jars.
To each clean empty jar add:
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp crushed dried chilies
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp peppercorns
1 tsp coarse sea salt
Sprig of fresh dill
1 or 2 cloves garlic
Fill Mason jars to within ¾” from top with pickling cukes, onions, carrots, beans etc. Don’t be shy, pack ‘em in there.
Brine
- 2 ¼ cups citrusy IPA or APA
- 2 ¼ cups white vinegar
- 1/4 c white sugar
Mix brine ingredients together in a non-reactive pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes. Be careful of boil-overs as this WILL foam. Immediately fill jars to cover the vegetables, leave at least ¼” head head space. Seal, turn upside down and shake to mix dry ingredients, allow to cool overnight. Refrigerate the following day. Ready to eat after three days, better after a week. Good for up to four weeks refrigerated. (I've kept some of these at room temp for a year with no swelling of the mason lids, just sayin')
For ‘canned’ pickles, process for 10 minutes in canning bath immediately after filling – these should be stable for months stored ambient.

Re: IPA Pickles
I did up 10 lbs the other night, tried one today. Spicy! If you can't take the heat cut back on the chilies! Oh and, I added 1/4 tsp CaCl (aka pickle crisp) per bottle to see if that helps with crunch factor.LeafMan66_67 wrote:I may try this with green beans as well.
The break down went like this:
10 lbs pickling cukes
2 growlers IPA
2 growlers white vinegar ( )
12 x 1 L mason jars
Volumes worked out about perfect

Re: IPA Pickles
Hmm, I have a cucumber saison that tastes just like gurkens/pickles. Maybe I should make gurken saison gurkens?

Re: IPA Pickles
My first impression was WOW spicy! But only the first bite. They went well with the brats on a bun that my wife and I had for dinner last night.
I imagine they would be incredible on a nice juicy burger as well.
My only problem now is that my wife wants me to go out and buy some 1L mason jars to make a second, larger batch. Not so much a problem really...
I used Uncle Leo's IPA, as I had a bottle on hand.
What would others recommend (locally sourced IPA from Micro, NSLC, etc.) for a more citrusy IPA? Would Garrison's Imperial be a little too much?

I wonder how these would turn out if you used an American Red? I may have to try when I brew my Stone clone next. I've been meaning to make these for a while.

Re: IPA Pickles
I had a feeling that would be the answer. Maybe I'll have to pick up a couple growlers this weekend. Thanks fellas!

Re: IPA Pickles
I created the recipe from scratch so, ummmm yeah I tailored it with Fathom, of course, it's free to me. I also used Red Duster APA, that was great as well. They'll be good with almost any modern West Coast-style APA or IPA I'd say.

Re: IPA Pickles
Got all my ingredients in a row except pickle crisp, CT, superstore and sobeys all didn't have any. They still reasonably solid without that? The other dills I made were fine without.

Re: IPA Pickles
It's just CaCl. I have 75 lbs on hand at RB if you want some. Also, they're decent without it, for sure. Definitely crispier with.

Re: IPA Pickles
That actually sounds awesome - think I could snag like a quarter cup? The HH I went to also didn't have any (no surprise, it was Burnside)NASH wrote:It's just CaCl. I have 75 lbs on hand at RB if you want some. Also, they're decent without it, for sure. Definitely crispier with.
Edit - are you in today? Could swing by around 2
