I'm surprised at how much extra hops you have to add when doing a partial boil.
I was playing with Beer Smith and when I flipped to a partial boil my hops utilization plummeted. So I increased the bitterness to the desired IBU and it was ABOUT 50% more hops needed.
YIKES - no wonder my brews always tasted a little more malty then I thought.
