Hey guys I just put down a 60ltr brew 3 coopers pale ale cans with 65g of cascade and 65g cluster. I was wondering if I could mix yeast I have 1 packet of us-50 and the kit yeast. Or I got 2 kit yeast in one can so could I put 4 kit yeast to 3 cans. I was gonna do 3 kit yeast because that wat i know to do, but just a learning question i supose. Thanks in advance for any advice guys much appreciated.
 
What manticle said. Don't be stingy with the yeast. Rehydrate for best results.

Underpitching will not do nice things for your beer.
 
Are you adding any extra fermentables?

3 cans to 60l with no added LME/DME or adjuncts will be fairly weak. Under the 3% ABV mark.
 
Sorry guys thanks for the advice. Yeah I added 1kg dex 1kg LDME 250G dried corn syrup and 1 kg of dry boost blend. I only put the 3 packets of kit yeast(before I was advised otherwise) the OG was 1060.
