re: Crawfish boil with 500 gallon brewery barrel?

Why can't you use the same ratio of water, pot size, pounds of crawfish, and seasoning by weight?

Because it doesn’t scale the same. There are tons of variables when it comes to much larger cooking platforms.

Type of seasoning you are using, salt content, liquid boil, any additives (like straight cayenne or onion powder, celery powder, etc.), any thing else added to the boil (potatoes, corn, etc., or just crawfish); even the amount of water used in relation to lbs of crawfish can all affect the outcome.

Again, a small 80 to 120 quart pot is much easier to fine tune than an entire rig.
