I am thinking about the starting my first can kit with modified ingredients. In the past I have always used granulated sugar but now wish to try spraymalt.
As an idea could I split the can kit in half and trial one with lightmalt and the other with dark to compare later. I am looking to achieve a bitter with more body.
Unsure if the quantity of yeast supplied would work with two half batches.
Many thanks.

Use all the yeast to get the first brew going, then when you rack the beer off the "bottoms", use those very "bottoms to get the second brew going. I don't know how much deposit to expect from a kit, but I suspect half of it would be enough.
 
yes, its is going to be a standard 1 can Wilco kit that I experiment with.
