Re: How much Turbo yeast do i need for a 50 litre wash?
Back in the days that I used Turbo's, I soon discovered that I could halve the amount of turbo to a wash, or double the wash size.
You may want to do yourself the next favour, and only use 10Kg sugar to a 50 litre wash.
It will finish quicker and cleaner.

What he said
If you are after a clean wash and doing 10kg sugar in 50L, try pitching the yeast with the wash a bit cooler than recomended - about 20oC, The temps don't seem to run away as much, but it will takes a tiny bit longer to finish fermenting.

At the possible risk of offending, but directly addressing the question......none....

Oh true answer. Cruel but true.
Re worded; Do I need more of my normal Turbo yeast
to ferment 50ltrs. The answer is one pack will do ok.
10kg sugar and one pack.

Softly, softly, catchy monkey.
You can guide or advise someone.
Or
You can beat them over the head with the big stick of your choice.
I have learned from the many mistakes that I have made what works for me.
That may not be the same for someone else.
I accept that.
It is their choice.
And I will offer the advice that I best see fit at the time that I am asked.

I'm not as subtle as Robert.
Apart from vodka star, DO NOT USE TURBO YEAST
and yes, one packet is fine for 50 litres
