I’m just about to start the above kit, in the instructions it doesn’t say anything about adding any priming agent before bottling but tells me to add ‘yeast lees’ to the second ferment and then bottle as normal when the sg remains constant below 1.06. Surely this would be flat? Am I just being stupid or am I missing something key here?

We haven't made this exact brew but if the beer has fully finished fermenting before bottling then we think you would need to add a little sugar (a teaspoon) or a carbonation drop to each 500ml bottle, if there are no fermentable sugars in the bottles then it would be flat.
We suspect by them saying 'Then just bottle or keg as normal' that they probably mean you should then go ahead and transfer to each bottle, and prime it as you normally would - but for some reason they haven't been as clear as on the other beer styles on the enclosed leaflet - maybe because it would not have fitted on the page?
