How do you judge how much roux to add Gris Gris?


I always make more roux than I need mainly because I don't measure anything when I make gumbo. That's not something I recommend, but I've made it so much that I can pretty much eyeball my needs with the pots I use. I usually make about 5 gallons at a time...not big by some of the standards on the board. I add the roux until I reach the body I want in my gumbo. I don't like it thick. I like it to have body, though. I don't add any meats until I've got the roux in and have allowed it to simmer in the stock for a while.
