Hello everyone, I am a first time home brewer from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I have been spending a lot of time this summer researching the subject and getting to know how everything works. So finally last week I have decided to jump right in and brew my first beer.
I live in a small appartment therefore I have decided to brew small. I would like to know what you guys think about both beers I brewed so far and how they should end up:
The Original 1.0
Type: Extract
Yeast: 5 grams of Cooper's (Dry brewer's yeast)
Batch: 5 liters
OG: 1.028 (alcohol potential 4%)
20 minute boil
Malt: 1.5 lbs of CBW Golden Light malt extract (powder)
Hops profile:
0.4 oz Cascade 20 mins (pellets)
0.4 oz Willamette 15 mins (leafs)
0.4 oz Cascade 5 mins (pellets)
0.4 oz Willamette 5 mins (leafs)
1 teaspoon of honey
2 teaspoon of sugar
It's supposed to make an American light ale (pretty basic beer).
---------- ----------
The Original 1.01
Type: Extract
Yeast: 7 grams of Cooper's (Dry brewer's yeast)
Batch: 9 liters
OG: 1.041 (alcohol potential 5.2%)
20 minute boil
Malt: 1.5 lbs of CBW Golden Light malt extract (powder)
Hops profile:

0.5 oz Willamette 15 mins (leafs)
0.5 oz Willamette 10 mins (leafs)
0.5 oz Cascade 5 mins (pellets)
4 teaspoon of sugar
1 sliced orange
It's supposed to make an orangy-ish IPA (not sure here).
