how much fermaid o for one gallon

[cheech226]

i'm confused. on denard brewing site the bomm dry yeast experiment thread i read to add ~10g of fermaid 0 each step feeding. this is what i'm doing, using abbaye yeast. i've just read on youtobrew to use 1.6g of fermaid o. that's a big difference imo.
can one add Too much 0?
so far i added 10g before pitch and 10 more at the second day of fermentation. i'm confused. the mead dr. says either is ok?

Yes you definately can add way too much nutrient. It does or could add off flavors. I use about 24 to 28 grams per 5 gallon batch. (Rounded down = 4.5 grams per tsp i have a 4 place scale and just checked it.) But the amount needed all depends upon the SG / brix yeast nitrogen requirements and any additional ingredients you may add.

That's not a recipe, it's a report on an experiment.
