I am about tho order an Imperial Stout from Morebeer.com ( https://morebeer.com/view_product/18344/beerwinecoffee/Imperial_Stout-_Extract ) and plan on using the SA-04 dry yeast. I see the estimated OG will be around 1.094 so I was wondering if I need two 11.5g packs of the yeast to do the job properly? I know as a rule of thumb that the higher the OG is the higher you need your yeast count. Just don't know how much I will need.
So, would it be wise to go ahead and pitch 2 packs of the dry yeast?
Also, if I do pitch more yeast than what is actually needed what kind of effects can I look for? (weird flavors, poor fermentation, etc...)
Thanks for any input....
