I'm not familiar with that product-- I suspect it's not available in 
NZ.  I _can_ buy malt extract in small jars, though, so having leftovers 
isn't really an issue.

Yes, but fermenting it for 10 minutes doesn't consume the sugars the way 
that fermenting it for a few days does.   I've just taken up doing it 
this day because I haven't done any brewing in quite a while.
