In my St. Paul Porter I put two yeast (Safale US-05) in the 5 gallon batch. I did this because the yeast was unrefrigerated for almost a year. I had them in the basement still in extract kits. I was concerned that that one package would under-deliver and the beer would not fully attenuate. With my first two batches of beer I seemed to get close to the target final gravity, but I was 1.002 to 1.003 off. This was batch number 3, and I am trying to give it every opportunity to fully attenuate. I rehydrated one of the packages and I think it was fine and quite active, but poured the second into the carboy anyway. I have spent the past 3 1/2 weeks wondering if it is going to taste yeasty. I read another post on here that someone said it would be fine, but I still have my doubts.
