to go from 1.07 to 1.00 in 4 days because my porter just did ?
To 1.000? And not 1.010 or 1.015 or something like that?
Most of my beers fully attenuate in 4-5 days. Some low gravity ones are even faster. Some high gravity ones a bit longer. But yes, to reach your FG that quickly is completely possible. However, while 1.000 is possible, but definitely not normal. Only yeast I can think of to possibly do that is a Saison yeast. Anything else would suggest wild yeast/bacteria (if you're intentionally going for a sour, no big deal, otherwise that's a problem).
Drop your hydrometer into a sample of properly tempt distilled water to check its calibration. Just to be sure.
Per Fermentis, S-04 should have an apparent attenuation of 75%. 1.07 to 1.00 is an apparent attenuation of 100%. (and a real attenuation of 81%!!!)
Fermentis does not list an alcohol tolerance. 1.07 to 1.00 is 9.2% ABV.
Do you have your recipe/procedures? Did you measure the OG, or is this a kit that you assume hit the specified OG?
