Using 34/70 On a 6 gal lager
Hey guys i have uses 34/70 several times and have never had a problem... the packet says dosage of 1 packet to 10-15L. I have however only uses 1 per 23L batch. Anybody ever encounter problems with using one packet?

Proper pitching rates for those dry lager yeasts is 2 packets per 5-6 gallon batch.
I've used 1 pack in the past... mixed results. If you use the proper amount you'll have less problems and make better beer.
Other details matter too, such as fermentation temp. If you're not using lager temps then 1 pack will get going fast enough... don't know how good the final product will be though.

I'd go with 2. I've used one in the past and didn't turn out quite right.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Using 34/70 On a 6 gal lager
I use 34/70 a lot. I’ve gotten sulphur issues from one packet and a cold ferment. I’ve also had it work fine. when pitching just one packet you are hoping it hasn’t been mishandled anywhere along the line. But the reality is, it likely has been stored warm or even hot for extended periods of time in transport, warehousing, and in the retail shop.
