Malt and Hops balance with extract

[JWStockton]

I just bought a coopers english bitter beer kit and two lbs of breiss pilsen dried malt extract (at the advice of the lhbs employee)... Now that I've been reading I'm worried that my beer will come out to malty without a hop addition. Has anyone brewed this mix before? Is there any rule of thumb you guys use with extract?

I read that thread earlier but i couldnt see anyone who used 2lbs of dme and their report but I'm going to mix it up today and see what happens without any hop additions. I googled the ibu of the finished kit and I found it was 32. Surely enough to handle the amount of malt that's there...

1# DME is the basic recipe. Maybe boil a few minutes extra.
