These pickles were way too salty for me, even after letting them sit overnight. I checked Alton Brown's recipe on the Food Network site thinking maybe there was a mistake in the salt amount. There wasn't but this recipe is actually missing 1 c. cider vinegar, which maybe would have helped with some of the saltiness.
