Manticle,
Your name kills me...hahaha.. I read it and can't get past "Man-Tickle". Not my cuppa, but hey!
Back OT, you have never done a toucan. Come on......u are one of the many gurus in AHB....dont you just want to do one, so u can say you have and fulfil those wild desires of knowing what brewing and drinking your own toucan is like.
I couldn't resist brewing a toucan after all the talk about it in AHB. I brewed two cheapie farmland draught cans. They were $1 each, still 10months before expiry, deleting the line from that store. Slap me silly though, it turned out a cherry red, with great head rentention and a extreme bitter flavour that was just SENSATIONAL....Its not my everyday beer, but its a keeper, will do again. Winter, casserole, fireplace and my toucan draught! NICE!
EDIT: Oh....and I used the two incl yeast packets. Why not, they are both there! A bit of foam out of the airlock doesn't hurt anyone. Mine stayed all within the fermenter luckily.

@BribieG
Just interested in the 'only one kit yeast' part. Wouldn't that underpitch and potentially stress the yeast causing possible off flavours like acetyladehyde?
Never done a toucan myself but curious. 7g seems to little for 1 can to me let alone 2.
