You would need to use a calculator to be sure.
for your reference point i am pitching 250grams of dry yeast into roughly 76gals of wort. at that ratio, you would need roughly 16 grams of dry yeast for a 5 gal batch.
Gelatin, BioFine or Niether?

Got it. Thanks.
So if I understand the yeast calculator here....
If I wanted to pitch an Ale at 75 Million per ml (pro brewer 0.75) for an ale. I would increase the grams of dry yeast until I get to "green" in the billions of cells needed. I also understand that the pro brewer amount might be considered high for a home brewer.
My calc showed to get to pro brewer of 0.75 I would need almost two packs (20g) of say SA-05. I could obviously back off of that if I decided not to go that heavy.
I assume over pitching to an extreme does have some potential side effects.

not a whole lot of negative side effects. i would say that 2 packs(20g) would be a safe level? my pitching rate is close to 16g/5Gals

With yeast you just need to be in the ballpark. Don't stress about being a little, or even moderately, over or under the target pitch rate. Healthy yeast are far more important than cell count.
