I've got 5.5 lbs of Dried. Should I go half in the beginning and the balance at 15 min? Thanks for any help. Probably a stupid ?

Keep your wort to about 1 lb to 1 gal of water for the 45-60 min boil and add the rest of it at the end. Add the DME 1 lb at a time until it dissolves then slowly add the LME while stirring. Both of these will reduce the temperature of the wort.

As long as it's within the range of the style then you're good. There are too many variables like amount of water and temperature adjustment for that equation.
