Need help: Muntons?!

Using Muntons Active brewing Yeast. Not sure if it's the best yeast to be using or not. Seen good and bad about it. Need a verdict. Brewing in the morning so a quick response and resolution would be very much so appreciated.

most important question: what beer are you brewing?

With Muntons I suggest using two packets of yeast if you have it. I have used it with success before but it is not the best yeast. In a pinch I would use it.

+1 on the two packs. I think the problem with the yeast is that they don't give you enough yeast for a proper pitch rate, so most people dumping it into a 5 gallon extract kit beer don't get great results. If you can get another pack or better yet an 11 gram pack of US-05 or Nottingham you will be better off.

and they give you the same yeast for an apa, an ipa, a scottish 90, a stout, a wee-heavy, and a saison
