You can't put all that in at once with the sides. If you are doing one sack at a time, dont put all the seasoning in the first batch. Rule of thumb is to do 1/2 the amount of seasoning on 2nd batch bc your water will already be spiced a good bit.
Not true. When crawfish soak up seasoning they are soaking up seasoned water. It's not like they are soaking up the seasoning itself and leaving clean water behind. Season your first batch for how you want ALL of the batches to taste, then don't add anything for subsequent batches. The water does not lose flavor with each batch.
If someone's first and second batch tastes differently it's an indicator that they don't know what they are doing.
Edit: the only exception would be if you are boiling so many sacks that you have to add more water, in which case you need to get a bigger pot.

Yep. The only thing I add for the 2nd batch is a little more cayenne and lemon and maybe a little salt but that's it.

I could not disagree more with this post.
U drop a big bag of zats, a cup of salt, a bottle of liquid zats in pot.... And boil 4 sacks in that water, the 3rd or 4th sack will not taste like the first.
