Wildrover said:Exactly how much is too much, say for a 5-6 gallon batch? What are the consequences of going over? I'm wondering if its better to err on the side of too much rather than not enough?
What say you?

There are many questions that go into this: Type of yeast (Ale or Lager), size of batch, OG of batch, dry yeast, liquid yeast ,age of yeast, all play a factor. Cheers, Preston.
What yeast-driven effect do I want in this particular batch?
MaltLicker said:Jamil wrote me back re: the yeast question, indicating how the slider on that yeast calc works. However, given that brew day is January 31st, and I forgot to buy the 1028 yeast today at the store, and we don't have a yeast cake, alternatives are running short. If I cannot get a second starter of 1028 done and settled in time, we may have to augment the principal yeast with some Nottingham dry packets.
