Instructions: Combine all ingredients except crabs and boil for 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Purge crabs in fresh running water. Put purged crabs in brew and cover. Let come to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes. Turn off fire and let soak for 10 minutes.

Crabs will be very peppery. If less peppery crabs are desired, use less hot pepper sauce.
