Hi, I under pitched me yeast would the beer go bad. Basically I started my batch yesterday. I when to me local store to get a extra back of yeast that I would need for me 1 gallon and 5 gallon cider. They didnt have the yeast that I like.. So I had only one pack of yeast at me house that split between the two batches. In a 1/5 to 4/5 ratio. The pack of yeast that I have was made only for 5 gallons. Do in need to get another pack of yeast and pitch it in? Or just levee it be and wait unit the fermentation started. I check it this morning the fermentation look like it started but slowly. Can I just pitch in a extra pack of the same yeast just in case or its not recommended?

Yes, one pack total will work.
One pack of yeast should be fine for 6 gallons of cider.
I would *not* add another pack.

Dzien Dobry. Ale ta paczka byla podzielona na dwa rożne pojemniki... jak narazie bumelki idą więc chyba nie będzie złe. ( the pack was spill in two difference containers not one whole. currently the fermentation is bubbling so hopeful is going to work out)

Thanks for the translation ... my Polish knowledge is not so good
Yes, two different containers ... one 1/5 and one 4/5 pack of yeast.
That should be good.
Na zdrowie!
