Cider yeast, how much do I add?

[mitsu monkey]

Hi all, doing a 1 gallon cherry syrup turbo Cider, using 4 litres of AJ and half a Lowitz cherry plus all the other ingredients.
How much yeast do I need? One 10g sachet is good for 5 gallons so will 3g do the job? I can keep the rest for other brews or do I need more?
Thanks

I usually use 5g sachet and that works fine

3g is being a bit tight then do you think?

A level teaspoon always works for me I haven't a clue how much that is.

I use one 5g sachet in a 4 gallon brew and that works ok.

In my turbos I've been using the CrossMyLoof cider yeast which according to their website is in 5g sachets and says it's enough to ferment 5 gallons. I normally split one packet between 2 x 1 gallon demijohns and it does the job.

I chanced my arm and put 3g in, it's started, and bubbling away nicely!
I used Mangrove Jack's Cider yeast has anyone else tried it?

Well I am pleased to report that 3g of yeast works a treat and the Cherry Cider turned out great, I'm really pleased with it! No overpowering yeast taste at all.
Next one I'm going to brew is a Lowitz Raspberry and Lemon Cider.

I did 50 litres with a 5g packet of Wilko cider yeast and it ripped it up. It just doesn't seem to struggle with those simple sugars. I'd have gone for 1g.
