With a small batch, you can over pitch (or even on a large batch). Over pitching results in a dull, lifeless and flabby beer - I doubt you will experience this at the homebrew level, as I only had this occur on a beer where I intentionally overpitched by more than two times the necessary yeast. It was drinkable , but not remarkable in any positive way....YMMV, of course, but with small batch brewing I suggest avoiding a dramatically overpitched beer
