While you'll get hops from the 2-cans, given that Cascade is about 6-7% AA (I think), I'd have used more bittering hops in that one. But I guess if you're emulating mega-swill they have virtually no hop bitterness so you might be on target anyway.
Also for 60L @ 1.044, 4x 7g (pretty sure Coopers are 7g) yeast packets are closer to the recommended pitching rate.

Think I'd be happy helping you drink the 2nd batch though. :icon_chickcheers:

yep the cascade is 7.8 so it worked out alright (well i could taste the bitterness in the finished wort), and yep it was cos ppl were coming round and not appreciating my fine beers, so i thought i'd give them some chuggers.

and no probs be happy to have ya round to sample the Amarillo Ale (what a great hop)
