Default one last extract

so i've decided to do one more extract kit while i'm gathering all my equipment to jump into AG,

so heres the question....i picked up a coppers brewmaster series IPA kit and it calls for 500gs of dry light malt extract and 300g's of corn sugar, the guy @ the store told me to add 1000g's of extract and the normal 300g's of sugar and also some more hops he gave me...what do u think?

how do i do me boil?

Save out half of the DME. Follow the instructions and add the rest of the DME at 15. Use the extra hops for dry hopping.

For the IPA I use about 4-5 pounds of liquid lme. The 300 g's sugar is ok. That particular kit is nice and hoppy - but like david said you can use the hops for dry hopping. Im sure you'll do fine - that kit makes a nice beer.
