There should be some destructions with the kit.
Generally for a 1.5/1.7 KG kit, around a kilo of sugar is used, at least thats what i use. Plus of course you'll need yeast, supplied with the kit, pitched after you've mixed the kit/sugar and water up.
Hope this helps :)

yeah as above however much sugar it says on the instructions add the DME as the sugar. so 1kg of sugar = 1kg of dme

is the coopers malt extract dried or liquid?
I'm asking because I have never seen Coopers dried extract, so I thought maybe you have a 1.5 kg of liquid extract.
if it is liquid, then I'd use the whole can, if the instructions call for 1kg of sugar. Otherwise, 1kg of dried extract.

S`pposed to be one of the better wheat kits and I`ve been thinking about ordering one for myself.
Have a look here for hints on how to get the best out of it, it seems you need a big FV to cope with the early and very lively fermentation.;
