I plan to brew a brown ale this weekend (OG 1.052) and I'll use dry nottingham yeast. I was just wondering,should I put 2 packs or only one is enough? I mean, is it preferable to have a stronger fermentation or can it give off flavors by adding too much yeast? Thanks.
1 or 2 packs of dry yeast?

1 package of dry yeast for that OG is plenty... 2 is overkill. There's some debate on the effects of overpitching (search: overpitching).
I could see using two packs for a big beer like a russian imperial stout or barleywine, but certainly up to 1.060 or so I wouldn't hesitate to use just 1 packet.
Two packet it's 5 grams (wimpy Munton's), one if it's 11 grams (Nottingham).
