My understanding is that your typical Wyeast or White Labs liquid yeast pouch contains about 100 billion yeast cells, whereas a, 11.5g dry pouch contains about 275 billion. I'v also read that the 275 is the approximate recommended amount for a 5 gallon batch. So my question is, are people typically pitching two pouches of liquid into a batch? This seems like an unnecessary expenditure when liquid yeast is already more expensive than dry, and dry works just fine.
