Any of you have experience doing 500+ pound batches? How do you adjust recipe from doing 1-2 sacks at a time. Just keep ratios the same or is there a different approach?

Doing a large boil in a couple weeks and have a rig available to use that can handle up to 700lbs at a time.

I couldnt imagine doing a huge batch in a new big rig like that without watching somebody else do it first

Just multiply everything. What could possibly go wrong?

When in doubt taste your water. you want it slightly over seasoned. Have some cayenne and other seasonings on stand by and adjust to taste.

You season for the amount of water, not crawfish. Figure out how much water and seasoning you normally use and upscale it. Not hard.

Having water fairly warm can help prevent seasoning from sticking and burning to the bottom the pot given the larger amounts that will be used. Helps to dissolve faster with some stirring
