    The St Peter's IPA is manufactured in England by Muntons, much like many of the kits, and comes with barley malt extract, a sachet of brewing yeast and a sachet of hop enhancer. The yeasts that come with the kits are considered suitable by Muntons for the brew they are supplied with, although there are some brewers who opt to discard the one supplied and instead buy a yeast they consider of a better quality. The best way to tell is probably to make a batch with all the ingredients supplied by Muntons, and then perhaps make a second batch and change the yeast to an alternative designed for the style of beer, and see if you feel there is any difference. Some customers are convinced some of the other yeasts are better, whilst others just leave the kits as Muntons intended it to be
