Appreciation post: a pitmaster in Austin told me to spritz my brisket with straight-up pickle juice instead of apple cider vinegar

I tried it on my last cook and the bark got way darker and the flavor had this crazy good tang that my usual 50/50 water and ACV mix never gave me, so has anyone else messed with weird spritzes like that?

Wait, straight pickle juice?

It's just vinegar and salt, man.

My old man swore by a shot of dill brine before every meal.
