Pig Roast

After talking about roasting a pig for around a month; I finally put an order in for one, and the process started. It took 2 days of solid work, and many random trips gathering material, to prepare the grill and the pig before we actually had it cooking. We brined the pig in an apple cider brine overnight, then made an apple cider and pear sauce to pour over the pig while it cooked. We went though just over 50 lbs of charcoal, 5 gallons of apple cider, probably more than 10 cloves of garlic, and many other tasty ingredients before being able to eat our pig. And after four and a half hours on the fire, we were able to eat it! We also had a keg of Ninkasi's Total Domination to go along with our feast.



































We had around 30 people show up for our party, and the pig tasted fantastic!!!!
