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...
