I made the 5 gallon extract version of Biermuncher's Oktoberfast that was posted in the thread. I pitched Safale 04 yeast dry and my OG was 1.064 @ 74*. After 12 days in the primary it was 1.013 @ 70*. I thought that was a pretty amazing fermentation, 80% attenuation. I am now checking the package and it says Safale 04 is for 20-30 liters which by the conversion chart I am using, is 5.25 to 7.91 gallons. Should I not have used the entire package for a 5 gallon extract recipe? I am wondering if I should leave some out next time I use this yeast?
