    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.
