Any thoughts about if this will work as the kit on its single can and sugar is well ..................... :(

No idea how big the brewbuddy cans of LME are but, for normal strengh beer: 1 kg LME makes 7.5 litres of wort. Remember, the volume of wort is volume of water added plus volume of LME. for DME, it's about 8-9 litres/kg. In 22.5 litres of wort, this works out at 3.0 kg LME (2 cans) or 2.5 - 2.75 kg DME (5 - 6 bags).
Hope that helps.
