After completing the awkward pickle quest, I found that you're unable to craft any of the special pickles. All of them use an 'uncraftable pickle' in the JEI recipe view and the awkward pickle doesn't even show up in JEI list. Also, all the Discord server invites are expired.

Edit: Look at other recipes that need potions, tried to make one, but the JEI recipe viewer for potions is broken but the recipe I tried works, not sure why the pickle doesn't.
