Some folks have probably worked this out for themselves, but while putting together a kits and bits recipe with some Coopers Real Ale, I came across this helpful link in a US forum that converts the IBUs for each Coopers can into a useable bittering number for recipe formulation.
Hope that helps
By the way, here is my take on a two-can IPA.
17Ltr Batch
2 x Coopers Real Ale tins
0.15kg each of Pale Crystal, Caramunich I and Victory
Steep grains in 4 litres of water, and boil
20 mins add 35gm of Cascade (5%) - 13 IBU
5 mins add 55gm of Cascade (5%) - Neg.
Chuck in with the tins of extract and some top up water.
Ferment with yeast from previous batch (Nottingham / SO4 mix)
Cheers
