Look up "bite through" in the dictionary, and there that pic is...
 
Here we go, both feet into the throwdown fire!

All ingredients assembled for brine (minus the kosher salt, apple juice and sugar):

Into the pool with about a quart of H20 to dissolve the 1 C kosher salt and 3/4 C sugar and steep the chilies. Once that's done, added 2 cans frozen AJ concentrate and topped off the water to 10 QTS., just fit in a 12 QT container with the 21 LB turkey! Brined in the fridge for 48 hrs.
