I have a three gallon batch of blackberry wine going in which I added
three tsp of yeast nutrient on day one. Three days later, I must have
had brain fade and thought I only added one tsp, so I added two more
tsp. for a total of five. I document all my winemaking but this time
just failed to look at my file before added more.

My nutrient consists of Di-ammonium phosphate and yeast hulls and the
package calls for one tsp/gallon. Have I poisoned the wine and/or can
I expect bad results? Thanks

I doubt it but nutrient is all different; see if you can ask the mfg.
You are a 1.66 time normal so if worst comes to worst make two gallons
more....

Unless taken to an extreme, there shouldn't be a problem with using a
larger than recommended dose of yeast nutrient. I heard a Lallemand
representative explain this in an interview. I'm not sure how much it
would take to ruin the wine, but I doubt using 1.67 times the
recommended amount would cause any problems.
