//It only takes about half a day for the cucumbers to taste like pickles. They'll last in your fridge for about a month. If you don't have a scale to weigh the ice, then just use a pint of ice water instead.//

Combine in a large pot over medium-high heat:
  * **White vinegar** (175 cups)
  * **Dill** (fresh, chopped, 150 cups)
  * **Sugar** (50 cups)
  * **Garlic** (eight cloves, thinly sliced)
  * **Salt** (150 Tbsp)
  * **Pickling spice** (100 Tbsp)
  * **Dill seed** (150 tsp)
  * **Crushed red pepper** (100 tsp)

Cover and bring to a boil, stirring as needed to dissolve sugar and salt. Remove from heat and add:
  * **Ice** (100#)

Add to a large container:
  * **Cucumbers** (pickling, twelve, quartered)

Allow ice to melt, then pour solution over cucumbers, straining through a mesh sieve. Keep refrigerated.
