re: Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?

a 500 gallon pot can probably handle about 300 lbs. at a time. Assuming it’s filled 1/2 way with water.

Are you sure about that? I only have an 80 qt. aluminum pot and fill it halfway (10 gallons) when I do my boils and can easily put a 35 lb. sack in it.

So, if you convert 35 lbs. of crawfish in 10 gallons of water, then 250 gallons of water should easily handle 700+ lbs. of crawfish and fixings.
