Over attenuated

[RNBEERGUY]

so I pitched a pack and half of safale s04 after using a pitch rate calculator and my yeast ended up 80% attenuating I was confused because the manufacturer says that max attenuation is 75 what factors may have lead to this ? Is there any real consequences of over attenuation ?

Mashing at lower temps can create more fermentables for the yeast to eat. I guess some consequences might be a dryer beer, less sweetness, and possibly loosing some malty character...

It was an extract recipe

In that case, just a large healthy yeast colony I suppose. Attentuation values aren't steadfast numbers...
