Partial boil - 3 gallons.

Porter

recipe calls for

1.25oz Fuggles 5% Hops 60minutes
0.50 Fuggles 5% Hops for 10 minutes

WELL - that left me with 0.25oz of hops just sitting there so I just put in 0.75oz of hops for 10 minutes.

I'm not experienced enough yet to tell if 0.25oz is a drastic amount? Not much? Opinions????

On the bright side the resipe called for 5% and I only had 4.7% so I was actually 0.11oz light on the bitterness hops and my mistake is reality is only an extra 0.22oz more.

fun with numbers
 
Additions at 10 minutes get you minimal bittering but lots of flavour. So you'll likely have a bit more hop flavour than the style would describe but it'll still be beer. ;) No worries!
 
My mistake - it was Fuggles Hops which is a little more Herbal then the Spicy Crystal. Both are near the center of the Hops Character Wheel though.
