Ok, I'm making this porter, so I go to the lhbs to get some yeast,( I don't trust the stuff that comes in the kits) and while talking to the guy there, I decide I want to up the Abv just a little. So, he sells me an extra pound of dme to add. Now, me being all over this site, I say to him, "I want to do this but I don't want to change the taste, or body of this beer." So he tells me to add more hops to offset the extra dme. We looked up which hops I'm getting, 1oz willamette, and 1oz fuggles. He then sold me 2 more oz of each telling me to add ad different intervals. Can anyone help me out on this. I forget when to add what, and I'm not even sure I should be putting all these hops in this. Just looks like too much. I don't want a really hoppy beer this time around! Thanks for any advice.
