All would be a great start, and possibly, finish. Load the pot, bring to heat and taste. Add more if you wish. I use more salt on my 1st boil, and more liquid boil, but that's just "my" taste.

what size pot do you have?
Posted on 3/8/17 at 2:05 pm to LSUvegasbombed
i think it will be pretty interesting to hear feedback for those boiling this weekend.
It seems like we are all using slightly different ratio's

100qt
I meant to add that to the post -- forgot.
So I am looking like:
100qt pot
7-8 lemons, halved
10 onions, halved
10-15 garlics, halved (I like to eat the garlic so I normally go heavy on that)
Some celery stalks
1.5 Bag of Chackbay
1-1.5 box of salt (probably a little under 1.5 salt)
8oz liquid
4 oz Chinese Red pepper (uncut, whole) (Still on the fence)
--I do, and the people I have coming over do as well, like a spicier crawfish--

That will work for 100 qts and the first boil, for my taste. If it was me, I'd use 2 boxes of salt and swamp cayenne for the straight Chinese. Just a matter of choice, no right or wrong. What you are doing will be much better than your neighbor's or what the restaurant down the street sells.

Where would you go to the second boil? I have another 1.5 bag of chackbay left, and all the other ingredients i can just increase from the store
I am going to go 2 sacks
Posted on 3/8/17 at 2:28 pm to Fonzarelli
I add half of the original seasonings to the second and third batches. Rarely go past 3 boils in a pot.
Posted on 3/8/17 at 2:37 pm to OTIS2
Normally I double down and add the same amount to the next batch (and all subsequent). That's what keeps them getting spicer and spicier.
This go around, I'll just see what half does and then move from there.

this is what I aiming for!!
To do 2 boxes of salt or 1.5 is the question

this might be the dumbest question but i usually throw my garlic in whole... so when you say halved
is this being cut from top to bottom or turning the garlic on its side then cutting from top to bottom
Posted on 3/8/17 at 2:51 pm to LSUvegasbombed
I cut it to where all the toes are cut in halve.

Pour 1-1/2 boxes in the pot and stir to dissolve. Taste your water. If it's salty, you're good. If it's not, add the other 1/2 box. Voila!

Far from it judging by this thread.

i just think people trying chackbay for the first time want to nail it since they are going in blind basically.
I started boiling 2 seasons ago. I have always done La bag and liquid with the fixings etc
Its apparent they are great. I dont want great. I want to blow the socks of people's taste buds and receive praise that my crawfish are the fricking best they have ever tried. I like what Otis had to say... its better than your neighbors and restaurants are doing-- thats a start in the right direction

I just cut the tops off so that all the pods are exposed.
I then press the other "halves" of the pods and put them around the edges of the pot, to "add a little more garlic flavor"
