Helles Yeast Pitch

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

I just brewed a 2.5 gal batch of helles. At 1.054, should I pitch the whole sachet or half? My first Helles and I don't want to mess it up.

its a lager, more is better. I would do 2 in 5 gallons

Whole, and maybe a second. I use 4 in 5 gallon batches. Maybe a tick on the overkill, but not by much. You pitch healthy with a lager, it will start quicker.
Minbari and I posting at the same time with the same idea.

I pitched the whole thing. I hydrated it first.
