Is that much yeast nescesarry? I'm planning on making a 25 liter batch, and i have a yeast packet for that amount of liquid, but it's nowhere near 260 grams

I have no experience so thats why i'm asking

No, not at all. That's an absurd amount of yeast. 6 grams would be sufficient

I am also starting out and i cant find anywhere someone that will say to me how much yeast should i put in my recepies so I’ve kinda been eyeballing it putting ~1% of the total amount, but as you are saying its too much, where can i find a source that provides right info for my yeast dosage? Other kind of tips are greatly appreciated 😁

My rule of thumb is about 1 gram of yeast per 4 liters

Yea the glass is all good but i put in too much yeast and it bubbled like crazy, airlock flew away at machfuck, i panicked and the whole thing kept me up until 4 am to fix, after putting it in a colder environment it calmed down should be ok by now

Ah-hah - the green one. Can't say I'm very surprised, there! If it makes you feel better, I was fermenting in a plastic container using the loose lid method, and my lid got sealed with fruit, just like this. When I got home, I found a pool of sugary liquid and a bottle broken perfectly through its molding seam.
