The pickles came out perfect but a little vinegary.. I may not be able to go back to Clausen

I found another reciepe that had 3 parts water 2 parts vinegar and 1/4 cup of kosher salt


Will that have any effect on the pickling? The recipe originally that I tried was 1:1 water/vinegar and 1/4 cup of kosher salt


Thanks

New Plan:
1. Use Kirby Pickles
2. Cut off the blossom tips
3. Give the cucumbers an ice bath prior to pouring brining solution
4. Instead of boiling after filling just put them in the fridge!

Question on 4: The pickles will have to go into a refrigerator immediately since they are not boiled/pasteurized for a period of time?

thanks!
