Crushed Black Malt Question

[xpers]

I am starting to feel I almost have to brew the Cooper Stout next.

I was just going to buy some dark spray malt which is £3.75 for a 500g bag. I also noticed some Youngs Crushed Black Malt that is only 99p for a 500g bag. Is this something that can be used with kit brewing as a sub to the more expensive DSM? If so, how and what quantities? If not, tell me to not be stupid!

Crushed Black malt is the actual malted grain. It won't add anything much fermentable but you could steep a small amount in some boiling water and add it to the fermenter, this would add a burnt flavour http://www.barleybottom.com/menu/product/&ID=139

You'd still need the Dark Spray Malt for the kit.
