First brew in 20 years,will it work?

[thejesmonddingo]

Hi,I've just started homebrewing after a 20 year lay off,done 2 turbo cider brews,with disappointing results,so decidee to go back to beer.I like hoppy beers,and have done a brew,but I think I may have under hopped it.What do you think?
For 3 gallon brew
1.5 kg coopers pale LME
500g Muntons pale DME
500g of sugar
100g Crystal malt
30g Challenger 6.4% at 60 mins
15g Cascade 6% at 20 mins
15g Cascade 6% at 5 mins

Planning on dry hopping with another 15g Cascade after racking at 7 days.I'm worried I've got my sums wrong,and it will be strong but bland,and not hoppy enough.

Looks a bit under hopped but if your dry hopping too will add flavour. Good luck :thumb:

I think next brew will be same fermentables,minus sugar,and possibly double the hops.

You could do with a couple of recipe books or the forum has some good recipes from members :thumb:

Just trying one after 1 week in primary,1 week in secondary and 1 week in bottle.First impression,it's pleasant,but a bit underhopped,nice colour,clear,and pretty drinkable,but my next brew has more hops in,so should suit me better.
