I’ve just bought this kit to try and notice the supplied yeast is only a 6 g sachet. Has anyone encountered any issues with this?

It might be fine but there's a risk of a stalled fermentation. If it was me (and a few years back it was) I'd buy a pack of Nottingham or S-04 and use that instead.
I'm fairly sure Wilko Gervin and Danstar Nottingham are the same yeast. So yes, you've got a good pack there!I have an 11g pack of Wilko Gervin ale yeast. Would you use that instead?

Hi Markk
I have brewed this kit twice. Both times I brewed short to only 21 liters and used the supplied yeast with no issues, on second time I dry hopped with Goldings. Both times I used 90g Priming Sugar.
I have always used the 2-2-2 method. Can't help thinking that 2 days warm conditioning might be a little too short to develop the required carbonation.
I was very happy with the results on both occasions. Hope yours works out and you enjoy the results.
It does look really good though!
