Clone peroni all grain brew

Camod89

Hi I've found a book with recipes for all your favourite shop bought beers

I found a clone peroni recipe and I am a bit confused as to amount of yeast they are asking more , the recipe for 25 litres is

3.25kg crushed lager malt
125grams crystal malt
750g flaked rice
15 litres water for brewing
5ml Irish moss
60 + 30 grams Saaz hops
60 grams later yeast
15grams gelatine
5ml/litre white sugar for racking

The bit that is confusing me is the (60grams of lager yeast) this does seem a lot for 25 litres, when most packets of lager yeast at net weight of 5 grams will ferment 23 litres,

Please can someone give me some help as too if this is correct for this recipe or a correction for this recipe

Thanks

That does sound like a lot of yeast, most sachets of yeast are around 5 or 6 grammes and are sufficient to ferment up to 23 litres, if using a blend of yeast and nutrient it may be more. Perhaps it is a typo and should say 6g, it may be worth looking at some of the other recipes to see if they say more like 6g, we have a couple of options which would be suitable:
