Two can pale ale

[Slash]

On the back of my recent success with an English bitter I'm going to be slightly adventurous and attempt a two can pale ale.

I thought I should run it past the more experienced here in case I'm about to waste a whole bunch of precious time with it:

1.7kg can Coopers Pale Ale
1.7kg can Tooheys Lager
30g Cascade
2x Coopers kit yeast
Boil:
Tooheys Lager can 30 mins (If I'm led to believe correctly this should get rid of any bitterness from the extract? Read it somewhere on here...)
15g Cascade @ 10 mins
15g Cascade @ flameout
Cascade can @ flameout.
Cool wort & top up to 23L. Allow to ferment @ 18C for 2 weeks in primary. Bottle condition until Christmas.

Thoughts/opinions/constructive criticism?

Cheers

Slash,

Looks ok, and should have reasonable bitterness from the hops in both cans.

I'd change the Cascade additions as follows:

15gm Cascade at 15min
15gm Cascade at flameout and
15gm Cascade dry hopped

Have fun,

Wassa

Thanks for your reply Wassa. When do I dry hop?

Thanks for your reply Wassa. When do I dry hop?

Dry hopping is usually done when the initial fermented has settled down, and the kraeusen starts to settle back into the beer.
That's anything from say 4 days to 7 days into your fermentation.
Then just throw the pellets into the fermenter, or use a teaball to contain them.
Leave it for another week, then bottle as usual.

Sounds good Warra, thanks mate.
