I would like to do a full boil for this recipe instead of a partial boil. What would I need to change in order to get the same outcome? This kit includes steeping some grains.
When entering data into a brewing calculator under fermentables do I include the malts that are steeping for a bit?

You can, but in an extract batch with just steeping grains, the fermentables extract are almost nil. Make sure the calculator gives you the proper OG.
I just went with 4.8% AAU Willamette, since that's what mine are.
The kit gives you approximately 13.5 IBUs with a 2.5 gallon boil. That's fine for that style of beer, right in the middle of where it should be.
With a 6 gallon boil, I get 22 IBUs. With .75 ounce of the willamette (4.8%), I get 17.4 IBUs. So, for a full boil, I'd use .75 ounce of bittering hops. That should get you close.
Did you use 6 gallons because that is the amount of water I should start out with to get to 5 gallons after evap?

Ended up doing a partial for my first kit, plan on doing the full boil for my next batch in 2 weeks. Going to try the phat tyre ale from norther brewers.
