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?

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.
