I have a "default brine" that I use for pickling just about anything:
3 cups (24 fl oz) water, 1 cup (8 fl oz) vinegar, 1/4 cup pickling salt.
I've found this has just the right balance of vinegar and salt without 
being "too much" of anything, and it takes to flavoring (with pickling 
spices, herbs, peppers, or whatever) very well.
