jeg fik at vide af sælgeren at jeg skulle putte et par hundrede gram sukker i i min beholder inden jeg hælde det på flakse, er det korrekt, og hvad er årsagen?

Not much to go by. I have done preciously little with extracts, so I
have no idea of the red box. Bull sounds like a possible name... 2Kg of
sugar sounds a bit heavy to me, likely to add a bit of cider-like taste
and to reduce the head retention (quickly-falling foam).

That will of course make the beer somewhat stronger. If the kit was
aiming at 5% (including the sugar), you should get about 6.3% (5% *
24/19). If the instructions did not tell to use so much sugar, your
stuff can be even heftier.

Oh, try to bottle at least a few of bottles, and store them for a few
weeks. That way you'll get some CO2 dissolved in the beer, and much
better head. And the ageing will certainly improve the taste.
Of course, if you can not wait, you will have to make another batch very
soon!
