Yeast quantity

[Dave's Bunker]

Hi everyone, little bit of information needed, I've recently started a all malt kit which included 2 packs of yeast, so being the ignoramus that I am I shoved both packets into the mash, unfortunately the fermentation only lasted less than 48 hours, temperature was 20-22c, was the yeast quantity too much, many thanks

don't think the amount of yeast has hampered your brew. if you check you readngs it is probably still fermenting...it has just died down a bit after the initial surge.

Generally I find most of my beers have a surge of very rapid fermentation over 48-72 hours and then is slow, to a crawl, I.e. might rapidly drop from 1.040 to 1.012 then over the next few days drop to the final gravity.

Basically it seems pretty normal to me.
