Question About Yeast Quantity

Post by drumwzrd »

Since I am new to this, I ordered a recipe online and it came with a small bag of 1/4 oz yeast. The final product was very good once I distilled it and it sat at 90 proof so I was happy. This time, I ordered from a different supplier and they sent me a 2oz bag of yeast to make a 5 gallon mash. Is that right? The 1/4oz worked perfectly the first time around so why are they telling me to use so much yeast?
