So I bought my first yeast starter kit and it came with 1oz of Fermaid K (yeast nutrient). Not reading the directions carefully, I used the entire 1oz bag of Fermaid K, which is way too much according to other posts.

The chocolate porter has now been in secondary for two weeks now, and surprisingly, it is still bubbling once every minute or so.

My question is, will there be an off taste to my beer and is there anything I can do to stop it? Perhaps leave in secondary for a long time?

Thanks!
 
Did you put the fermaid into the starter or the wort? Either way I wouldn't worry about.

Just because it's still bubbling does not mean that it's still fermenting. It's probably just off gassing. Check the FG to be sure.
