Yeast question, did I pitch enough?

[HopPhish]

I just finished brewing Northern Brewer's sweet stout kit. The recipe includes:
.5 lb Simpsons Chocolate
.5 lb Dingeman's Debittered black
6 lbs amber malt LME
1 lb Lactose
1 oz Williamette

The expected OG should have been 1.054 and I opted for the dry yeast(Danstar Nottingham Ale).
I decided I wanted to raise the alcohol a bit so I added 1 lb Plain Dark DME. I also added another 1/2 oz of Williamette. I was expecting the gravity to be higher but it is at 1.072! Which leads me to my question. With this high of an OG will this one packet of yeast be enough? From what I have read, it seems pitching too much isn't great but it is better than not pitching enough. Any help will be appreciated.

It's only $1.50 each so if there is any question, I'd say might as well pitch another pack. One would probably get there eventually though if you let it sit long enough.

good point! I'll run out tomorrow and pick up another pack.

thanks for the help!

don't bother, 1 pack of notty was enough. your OG should only be 1.062-63 btw

You may have gotten a concentrated sample when you took your OG reading, happens alot with extract brews. I calculated what you added at 1.062 using brewpal. One pack of notty will ferment that just fine!
