I'm interested in this thread as well. Back in Jan I brewed a American Pale Ale (Brewers Best) but I modified it two ways: Increased the boil 2.5-3 gal to 5 gal and added 1/2 (1 can) extract at 60 min and 1/2 (1 can) extract at 15 min to utilize late extract.
I've read to decrease hops by 15% (I didn't) due to increase in boil size but IMO it is less bitter rather than more bitter than two previous batches of the same kit I've done. I'm wondering if the late addition kept some of the bittering hops from making it more bitter.
