Finlandia kit & sugar - is it enough?

[Scotty]

Ey up,

Bought a Finlandia lager kit the other day and just about to crack on with the brew and noticed the amount of sugar to be used. For a light beer it states 200g of sugar for 25l or 600g and 20l for a medium strength beer. Is this enough?

Would it be ok to meet halfway and use 400g for 23l?

Plus the instructions aren't the clearest!

400grams of sugar for 23 litres is fine, it will be weak, and perhaps a little watery? I'd go for maybe 500 grams.

Don't know the kits at all but most kits require 1kg of sugar to make a regular strength beer at 23 litres. If you have a hydrometer you can check your gravity at the start and as my more sugar as needed to gauge what kind of a strength beer you'll get at the end of fermentation.
