Default More nutrients than perscribed

I am wondering what the effects of adding more nutrients than are suggested will be. I assume it can/will lead to some off flavors, that hopefully time will help to mellow.

Thanks for helping a noob!

Tim

A MAJOR excess of nutrients may lead to decreased aroma (at least in wines - I'm not sure about meads), and may created some metallic or yeasty flavors (the yeasty ones age out usually). Large overdoses of nitrogen can also lead to increase production of H2S causing sulfur odors (as can nitrogen deficiency).
