Can you help newbee please?

Total NewBee here.

1. Michael Fairbrother recommends using 1gram of Lalvin 71B 1122 per gallon.
I started one gallon of regular mead (honey, water, yeast) with OG - 1.148
Do you think it is enough to use just 1 gram of yeast with 2 grams of Go Ferm?
Is there something wrong if you put more, except wasting the yeast?

2. He recommends nutrition schedule:
3/4 tsp of the blend immediately after pitching the yeast
3/4 tsp of the blend 24 hours after fermentation begins
3/4 tsp of the blend 48 hours after fermentation begins
3/4 tsp of the blend after 30% of the sugar has been depleted
My “problem”: when I started with OG - 1.148 when is 30% of sugar depleted?

Please, do not yell at me. I told you I am total newbee.

I would assume the sugar break would be the 1 third on the hydrometer (OG to Zero) so around 1.098 should be good. As for the use of acid blends and more information into the sugar breaks I would recommend reading up on Brays one month mead (aka 'the bomm'), some brilliant information in that thread.Below is the original thread.

Thank you very much for your help. Yes, I am familiar with BOOM.
I actually made first batch last month. Now I am waiting for bottling.
