ANSWER:
It is because pickles contains acids and if it is stored in brass(copper and zinc) and copper which consist of metals .The metals would corrode and they react with acids to form metal oxides which are basic in nature.The product formed would be toxic or inedible for humans to consume
This is the reason for not storing pickles in metals such as copper or aluminium and alloy such as brass.
