3- 4qt baskets of pickles
Wash and brush pickles and place in cooler. Cover with cold water and 4 trays of ice. Let soak overnight Next day sure they are all hard.
Make brine (I would double this to make sure there is enough):
4 cups water
2 cups white vinegar
5 tbsp pickling salt
Bring to a boil. In each jar, put 5 cloves of garlic, 10 peppercorns and 1/2 tsp dill seeds or dill weed - (couple of hot peppers is nice also).
Pour hot mixture over well packed cukes in jar - enough to cover. Seal tightly. Next day tighten lids again. Let sit for 4-6 weeks.
