It's possible to use too much yeast, but I doubt you did. How big was your starter?

Well you probably wasted a pack of yeast. The starter should have done it for you.

A brew that ferments out too fast won't gain the proper flavour profile that it could, although it will still taste good.

Patrick my dear, I don't want to sound harsh but punctuation and capitalization is our friend. It makes it much easier to answer questions when we know where they begin and end.
