How much seasoning to add for second sack of crawfish?

I feel like I've got my cooking down perfect for one sack/batch of crawfish, but tonight I'm going to cook a second. I season with 1 bag of Louisiana brand real spicy crawfish boil. When I go back to cook the second bag, how much more seasoning should I add to the, obviously the same, water?

usually do 1/2 a bag, but I've seen a different amount everywhere I go

I normally do half the amount of the first boil

Sounds good. Figured another whole bag will be too spicy, none won't have enough flavor. Might as well meet in the middle.

I match the 1st and eliminate salt and powder for the 3rd (liquid only added for 3rd)

This is what I do also.
1st batch= full recipe/seasoning
2nd batch= 1/2 of orignal recipe/seasoning
3rd batch= 1/4 of orginal seasoning
They usually come out pretty consistent like this. I was taught this by one of the owners of Deep South Blenders (cajun land brand) and it has worked for me.

Sounds about right. Remember you can always taste it to see if its right before dropping the seafood.

Half the original amount of spices.

I have yet to have ANY crawfish this year...

i usually season the second batch just like i would the first (sack size bag for each batch). i never have any complaints. although pretty much everyone that usually eats mine like their crawfish spicy and salty. if you then cook a third batch, they start to get salty. an earlier post said to switch to liquid for the third batch. that is probably a good idea.

A bottle and a bag? I know I would like it, not sure if others could handle it. Might be a good technique if I'm low on crawfish.
Sidetrack- corn always turns out too spicy when cooked to whole time with the potatoes. What do you to keep the spice on the corn down? I keep saying I'm going to put them in later, but I always forget.

Like someone else said, I put the frozen corn in when I turn the fire off. Corn doesn't need to cook long like the potatoes do.

I already use ice to cool down the water when I cut the fire off, makes total sense. That's when I'll put the corn in.
