Bag says it does 1 sack, so I'm curious as well.
I plan to do it with the usual combo of liquid, salt, onions, garlic, and lemons

I typically don't trust what bags tell me. I normally always think I need more than the suggestion.

Otis says you need one in this thread, but I found an old thread where he says he uses 2 per sack 
A lot of the missing weight appears to be salt though.

When you say bag of chackbay, are you talking the 4-5lb bag that Louisiana, Swamp Dust, Zats (jar) offer? Or just the 1lb bag of it?
I guess it's like a pound. Says "x amount of shrimp or crabs, sack of crawfish" on it
Edit: I guess it's 12 ounces. One bag will do a whole sack. If I want them spicier I add another 1/2 bag. 1/2 of everything after first boil

You use it?

Yesterday was the first time I used Chackbay. One 12 oz bag in my opinion will not properly season a 40 lb sack. I'm thinking it would need at least 2-3 bags of Chackbay to get them spicy enough but honestly I don't know for sure. I used one 12 oz bag of Chackbay, 2 cups of liquid Zatarains and about 1-1/2 boxes of salt and they were very good.

I'm thinking about using 2 on the first sack then 1 for the second.

It all depends on the amount of liquid you're using....more liquid, more seasoning. What is needed will vary because of this.

I would have to dump it in there and taste it. I just don't know enough about the Chackbay. All the post on my prior research said to blend it with liquid Zatarains and salt. Basically I kind of used my normal recipe but instead of using a cup of red pepper I used the bag of Chackbay. I thought the crawfish were very good. They sure were spicy but not so spicy that it overwhelmed anyone.

100 qt pot at around halfway full should need 2 probably right? 10ish gallons
Posted on 3/6/17 at 11:19 am to TH03
Yep. Your on 40+ pounds using that volume of water, I'd think...gonna take a bag and a half, most likely.
Posted on 3/6/17 at 11:20 am to TH03
I use 1.5 bags for 1 sack, with bottle of zats liquid and 2 box salt. always good. second sack I add the remaining half bag, and another salt, and a little liquid.
Posted on 3/6/17 at 11:52 am to TH03
Yeah I use it. 120 quart pot half full
2 bags for one sack is too much.
Most of the time I use a bag and a half. If cooking for people who don't like them as hot I use one bag

I'm going to try that next. Use 1-1/2 bags of Chackbay and one 8 oz bottle of Zatarain plus my salt. I think that's probably the ratio that would suit my taste buds the best. I can't deny though the ones I cooked yesterday were excellent though. One thing I will stand by is that Chackbay is very good and flavorful. I love the fact that I can control the salt level better by using that stuff. I had never heard of it until Otis and a few other friends kept saying it was the best stuff to use and in my opinion it's the best on the market.

How long are you soaking them? After I put the crawfish in, as soon as it gets to a bubbling boil I turn it off and let them soak until they sink

Adding that small bag of chackbay and a huge box of salt scares the shite out of me.
Those big bags and jars of mix are like 70% salt

Im intrigued in trying out this Chackbay but weary b/c I don't want to mess up my "perfect boil recipe".
Can I do my normal boil then just add the Chackbay as extra spice, should I sub the chackbay instead of cayenne or you would definitely advise against adding the chackbay with other premix boils? thx
