I use 1 gallon of water, 1 cup of Morton's Kosher Salt and 1 cup of sugar. Heat the salt and water in a little water till completely melted. Cool it down in the fridge. Add the remainer of the gallon of water into "The Briner". So handy!!

Hope this helps.

The local deli here has 5 gallon buckets they set out the back door and give away. Most had been full of dill pickles. I would call those food grade and they are free. Ck the local restaurants for really cheap 5 gallon buckets. I am not opposed to spending 5 dollars for a bucket but free is free and I also use these for my bucket garden.

What ever brine recipe you use, i'd stick with 1/2 cup kosher salt per gallon of water.....seems to work well. Go a cup if you add in gallon of vegetable stock and a gallon of water
