The general idea behind the hopshot is 1ml = 10IBUs added to a low/mid-gravity beer at 60 minutes. Per their instructions, this is for 5 Gallons of beer.
1.) Is this 5 gallons of packaged beer, or into-fermentor volume, or pre-boil volume? It's never specified on the sheet provided.
2.) Let's assume it's for 5 gallons of packaged beer (most likely). If I end up with 7 gallons of wort post-boil, 1G stays as kettle loss, and 6G into fermentor, would you increase the amount of HopShot used to hit your desired bitterness? I would assume multiplying the amount used in 5 gallons at 60 minutes by 1.4 would give you what you need to bitter 7 gallons of wort...could be wrong though.
