I only use the liquid made by Zatarain's. IMO, the other brains of liquid are not as good....you have to us a lot more of the "cheeper" stuff to season the water.
I found that if you cook with the seasoning that come in a bag, it is hard to get the seasoning to come out right. The seasoning would keep getting stronger the longer it was in the boiling water.
Amounts.......I start with 16-20 oz in a 60 qt pot to cook 25 - 30 lbs of crawfish.
I also add some Cayenne, Tabasco, black pepper, salt, garlic and onions. I add the lemons after I cut of the fire to let them soak.
After the seasoning have boiled for a couple of minutes, I taste the water to see if it "taste" ok.
