So one of the local brineries (Brooklyn Brine Co) recently collaborated with Dogfish Head to create hop pickles. I found a jar this weekend and holy crap are they good. These are a pickley hop bomb.
You can check out Brooklyn Brine's original announcement here, but I thought the Wall Street Journal's behind the scenes was even better.
Anyone here ever thought of doing something like this?

Re: Hop Pickles
Sounds tasty.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

Re: Hop Pickles
India Pickle Ale, anyone?
My cucumbers aren't doing well this year.

Really? I think my dad has had a bumper crop. Did you have pests or just too dry?KMcK wrote:India Pickle Ale, anyone?

Re: Hop Pickles
The cukes are next to the pumpkins, squash, and zuchinini, all of which are doing extremely well, but the cukes not at all.Jayme wrote:Really? I think my dad has had a bumper crop. Did you have pests or just too dry?KMcK wrote:India Pickle Ale, anyone?

Re: Hop Pickles
Huh go figure. Maybe they were out competed by the others?
So is anyone going to try making some hop pickles?

Re: Hop Pickles
Definitely. I was planning on using my own hops but I'll barely have enough to brew with.

Re: Hop Pickles
From that video it sounds like they use hop oil, not flowers. I don't know if that will cause an issue or not.

Re: Hop Pickles
I've got 20lbs of cukes coming on Monday o.O
I'll split out 5lbs or so and give this a shot. I'll probably just use hops, not oil unless someone knows an easy way to make it.

Re: Hop Pickles
I don't see any reason to use hop oil vs hops for home canning. Don't ask me how many to use though, I'll have to experiment.
