Would love one :) just starting out and have no decent kit :)

Hi Guys, Just wanted your opinion. I was making the Cog Work IPA from Coopers 1 × Thomas Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale (1.7kg) 1 × Thomas Coopers Amber Malt Extract (1.5kg) 1 × Light Dry Malt (500g) 2 × Light Crystal Malt (100g) 1 × Centennial Hops (25g) 1 × Citra Hops (25g) 1 × Simcoe Hops...

Hi, I'm going to be giving this recipe a go fairly soon, just waiting on the yeast to arrive. I plan on bottling it though into a bunch of spare 335ml to 375ml leftovers. The original coopers basic recipe for the RIS says use 1 carbo drop per bottle, would that work with this recipe? Also...
