What's a good OG that would need you to pitch extra yeast for a healthy ferment? 1.060+?
Also, how exactly does that work in terms of quantity? Anything over a certain OG just throw two packs in? Or 1.5? Can you honestly over-pitch to the point where it ruins the beer?
Curious because I had a brew that was 1.062 and I used one 1056 wyeast starter pack, which is apparently right on the edge. Figured I'd just give it some extra time to finish up.
