Method
Prepare an ice bath in your sink, see notes.
Add half of the water to a 12 quart stock pot. Bring to a full boil and add the salt and sugar, stir to dissolve, and return to a boil.
Remove from heat and place in the ice bath. Add the rest of the water with the remaining ingredients. Stir occasionally to dissipate the heat. Add more ice to the bath as needed to bring the temperature to 40° F / 4° C.
Immerse the pork in the brine. Weigh it down by placing a plate on top if necessary.
Transfer to your refrigerator and brine for 24 hours.
When you're ready to cook the pork, remove it from the brine and rinse it thoroughly under cold running water.
Blot the pork thoroughly with paper towels until dry.
Place it on a cooling rack and allow to air dry in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook.
About an hour before it goes in the oven place the pork on the counter and allow it to come to room temperature.
