Best Answer

The commonest type of vinegar used for pickling is either distilled white or malt (brown). Use white vinegar if you don't want malt vinegar to darken the colour of the pickled items (hard-boiled eggs, whole or sliced onions, and other vegetables, etc). The vinegar used to pickle beetroot would not matter as the strong dark redness of the beetroot would override a malt vinegar.

Can you use diluted 35 percent vinegar essence in place of spirit vinegar for pickling?

Oh goodness, I don't think I would do that if I were you. Vinegar is very important in the pickling process, its critical. Vinegar determines the pH of the pickling solution, the relative acidity of which affects whether bacteria in the food and solution are killed, affect the fermentation process, and the ultimate taste. You could well do all that work and end up with something that doesn't taste good, or worse, that could be dangerous for you to eat.
