Yesterday I started what, I hope, will be 23 litres of dark lager from a basic 1 can Geordie kit.
I used:
1 Kg BEK.
500 Grms dark spray malt.
Half a teaspoon of Yeast-Vit.
Saflager s-23 yeast.
Other than that, it was mixed as per the kit instructions. OG = 1040.
It will be interesting to discover what a malty lager will taste like.

Different! 
Nothing wrong with a bit of experimenting. I would have thought your OG would have been higher though with 1.5Kg of liquid malt extract, plus 1.5Kg of dry fermentables... say nearer 1050?
