Br...no, I make fresh brine. The brine is always cloudy after the fernmentation process so I dump it out. You can then store them in the refrigerator. If you "hot water bath can" them, they will never be as crisp. There is debate, even among experts that a brine that contains NO WATER can be stored un-refrigerated. I do this as well as refrigerate them and have no problem but I wil let you and others make that choice for yourselves.
