Using two one can kits instead of sugar

[Benfleet Brewery]

apologies if this has been asked before. I’m tempted to get two of the MYO IPA kits and use both instead of adding sugar to one since they are now on sale at less than £9. Do you think this would be with a go? Would I need to use both packs of yeast?

If it's a pre-hopped kit, you'll be doubling the bitterness. It would be better to use one can of kit and one can of malt extract.
No- one sachet of yeast will be enough.

If you have done the kit before you could judge if it needs twice the hop flavour and bitterness otherwise what AnAnkou said.

Hi Mark yes your right

(save even more money by only buying one and using less water)

I really cannot imagine that two one can kits made to 23-25L are going to be "over hopped". I did Coopers and Wilko Stouts this way several times without being overwhelmed.

I've done a few of one can kits, with no extra fermentables to about 12L & they've all produced drinkable beer.
