The Simply bitter is a nice brew we have made that one, you don't usually need to add finings to beer kits like this when brewing them, it may help it clear faster but can also cause carbonation to be slow, we don't usually suggest using finings for extract kits like the Simply range, more details on them are here if of any interest:
