Monster pack of yeast

[labrewski]

Got a neipa kit from getrbrew today came with a 25g pack of yeast most i ever got with a kit is 10g i think could this be a super fast fermentation trick ??

No. Pitching rate for that particular strain - the Lalbrew New England yeast - is higher as the viable cell count per gram is lower than your average dried yeast. The manufacture recommends 100g/hL to achieve a minimum of 1 million viable cells/mL. so a standard 11g sachet would only be suitable for an 11L brew length. 25g should cover up to 25L..
