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.
