Enough healthy yeast? Should I use more than the 1 packet? is the packet yeast that comes with the can ok, or should I use other yeast?

Hi there Guys, Now the weather is cooler again in QLD, I am giving the home brew another crack. I was brewing last year but as the weather began to get warmer the beer was tasting rubbishy so I gave it away for the summer, ( no fermenter temp control). I never had any issues with infections etc...

I have been gassing my kegs for 24hrs at 40psi, then back off to around 10 psi pouring pressure. My last beer started pouring flat. Good head when first poured then a flat lifeless beer. Is 24 hrs long enough? Or could something else be wrong
