Trevor,

    Your Citric Acid Pickle Page looks good. I have one quibble, citric
    acid will indeed plate copper out of solution onto items being
    pickled if iron is introduced  into the pot along with the items
    being pickled. Citric may be less likely to do this but I have had
    this happen to me a few times in the past three years that I have
    been using citric acid pickle. It is my understanding that any acid
    will do this, if it dissolves copper into solution it will plate it
    out due to the electrolytic cell that is created by placing iron and
    silver or gold  in the solution. Hey John Burgess do you have any
    more information on this?
