There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Pickles, sauerkraut, and similar are fermented through bacteria, that produce lactic acid. For alcohol you'd need yeast instead. As such, I don't think that you can use pickles to make alcohol.
Pickles aren't necessarily fermented. In fact, I don't think I've ever done across a fermented pickle, and my partner and I try any new pickles we find
I'm aware of vinegar pickles (I've eaten and prepared both), but those would be even worse for booze production.
