Big Tasty Drinks Homemade Pickle Juice for Hambone!

I've been on a not-much-doodling making-homemade-fermented pickles kick lately. This is a bit of the juice that was left over from a kimchi-esque pickle I made recently.

Being a big fan of kimchi but always wishing it was as sour as a standard kosher dill with the spices I made something like that. I took some Napa Cabbage, Korean Radish, and assorted other veggies (didn't want them to go bad in the fridge!) and fermented them for a little over a week in a closet in my house. The pre-fermentation was a brine recipe from the book Charcuterie by Ruhlman and Polcyn. It involves putting whatever seasonings in a specific ratio of salt to water (I ain't no chef, but I put some ginger, garlic, and chiles in it).

Maybe I'll eat the resulting mix on video in a dedication to a friend. Until then, here I am drinking pickle juice in honor of my little brother Ethan "Hambone" Philbin. Also it is a dedication to my friends in Philadelphia's Doom Prog group, Cleric...they just got ripped off big time by the evil bums in Philly--who stole ALL their equipment.
