Yeast nutrient too much?

[msmith92]

So i made the NB brickwarmer holiday red ale extract kit. I decided to add some yeast nutrient. I had som ld carlson handy. It said to add 1 tsp per gallon. Well, i added 2 tsp. the fermentation is insane. Blow off needed.

However, it is fermenting non stop crazy for the pas two days with no let up.

Did i add too much nutrient? If so, what will that do?

I doubt the nutrient would cause that. I imagine the OG was probably pretty high since it's a "winter warmer", so the violent fermentation is to be expected. So, I wouldn't worry about the extra nutrient. Just try to keep the fermentation temps under control at this point.
