Two Sacks One Pot

Hey y’all,
Not starting the annual “OMG how do you boil them” thing.
I’ve been using an 80 qt pot for a few years and doing multiple batches when needed. Finally grew tired of it, and am getting a 120 qt pot so I can do two sacks in one go.
The question: do you double the seasoning for the two sacks, or do you play the ratio game with water amount/seasoning?

season by water volume. You probably don't need to double the water but it will take some trial and error because your new dimensions will be different

Or other solution: would it be easier to set up two 80s knowing what we like instead?

I have a 120qt and tried this once. Wasn’t very good in that they were bland as hell. I don’t think I doubled seasoning so that was on me. Now, Instead of two sacks in a pot, I bought a double jet burner and now my water boils in a 1/3 of the time.

If you can measure how many gallons of water you put in the 80 quart. Then measure how many gallons you need in the 120 quart. Season like you did in the 80 quart but add enough to cover the extra water volume.

I was in the same boat, dont double it. Just add half. For 1 sack I fill to the 5th ring, for 2 sacks I go to the 8th ring of the basket.
If you normally put 2 cups of powder you would do 3.
ETA; I have a dbl jet burner, gets back to a boil pretty quick. I don't use my natural gas when I use my 120 quart pot.

You can always over season them to start and taste them as they soak. A shorter soak with more seasoning with produce similar results as a longer soak with less seasoning.
That way you can more guarantee you get them tasting how you want and then you can adjust from there.

I also season by volume of water. If you are doubling your water for the 120 qt pot, you should double your seasoning. But I'm not sure why you'd double your water, assuming you were close to the max in your 80 qt pot. You'd need a 160 qt pot (not even made?) to truly double your water volume.
In summary, if you are using your max volume of water in your 80 qt pot and want to replicate your seasoning recipe for that pot for a max water volume in a 120 qt pot, just multiply all ingredients by 1.5.
