I saw a post earlier where someone mentioned if you do a third sack to dump out the water and start fresh. I'm boiling this weekend and doing more than two sacks for the first time, is that standard? I've been at boils where they did more than 2 sacks and didn't dump the water and start fresh.

I usually start with clean water on a third batch. Water gets too dirty and tends to mess up flavor. It's also hard to get the seasoning right re-using the same water over and over. General rule of thumb is to change water every two batches. Depending on the size of your pot you might could do 1.5 sacks in each batch for a total of two batches. Thats what I do.
No one likes looking at a pot full of crawfish and brown stained water. Gotta have it red and orange so you can take basic bitch pictures like me (above)

I'm lazy. But OI never go past 3 cookings with a pot of water.

I used to think I could eat a turd wrapped in bacon and it'd taste good. Then I tried a brussel sprout recipe with bacon. It still sucked.
If bacon can't make them taste good, I don't think a crawfish boil would either.

I would throw them in a couple minutes before the crawfish.
Last time I cooked them I think I put them in at the same time as the crawfish and they were a little hard.

Put water in pot
Put sack of seasoning in pot
Boil water
Put crawfish in water
Boil for a few minutes
Soak until they sink
It's literally as hard as boiling water. There are many things to be a connoisseur about. Boiling spicy water is not one of them.

You're a little late to the party
And your recipe is very similar to rest of the smartasses in this thread

Anybody add eggs in the berl?
Posted on 3/24/16 at 5:25 pm to JL
We always do 2 sacks and then change water. Seems after that the flavor is off like someone else said.

No garlic, cayenne, celery or lemon?

Since it's the OB and not those pussies on the FDB, I'll share one of my secrets with you baws...
Get a can of asparagus heads, drain em and toss them in with the boil about two or three minutes after you drop the bugs. You may never boil without them again.

I would be wary about doing the third batch in the same water, but if you're set on that then make sure you wash the even living shite out of each batch to limit dirt, debris, etc.

No. You're boiling something that the volume of which greatly decreases the temperature of the water, which takes a little while to get up to cooking temp, and which is relatively sensitive to overcooking.
It's not hard to do it *okay* but it's a little detailed to do it "right".
