Interesting. The recipe says the OG is 1040 and FG is 1010. Have not been measuring the gravity of my country wines so have only a partial idea of what all this means.
Does anyone have nettle beer/wine recipe

Sorry I read that as a bag (kilo). My bad.
That said my advice still stands. Yeast doesn't perform on a linear fashion. So 3g is still a risk IME and whole 11g is not an overpitch.
There are times when 23l recipes take 50g
I have also made 300l on 20G. It did finish OK, but you could smell the lag and cost 2 days.
I regularly co-innoculate 23l with two different sachets.

Landlord.
Agree overpitch is safer in nearly all cases.
I've had a read of the recipe in " Booze" I would add some yeast nutrients as added security even though it's not a big gruit.

I might have to try nettle wine this year as some bugger has done extreme pruning on the elder I use & the backup has been cut down.
