I'm planning on doing a 3.5gal Pale Ale tomorrow with Danstar Notty dry yeast. I have the 11g package. Mr. Malty says to use 0.6 of this package for my batch. Any issues with just using the whole 11g? Is it too much yeast?
It is very hard to overpitch on a homebrew level. Racking a second low to medium gravity wort onto a 5 gallon yeast cake is one way, but otherwise don't worry.
I do 1.75 gallon batches and often dump a whole pack of dry yeast in the bucket. Only had two blow offs in over a year. Never rehydrate either. Just scatter the yeast and cover.
