So I got my kit today in the mail for a La Fin du Monde clone. It looks pretty good with a couple of exceptions. First, it doesn't have any coriander or orange peel which I'm pretty sure are typically used to make it. Maybe I'll add some of these myself anyway.
My bigger concern though is that with 9.25lbs of LME and 3lbs of specialty grains, I'm afraid that it's going to be WAY darker than I want. I was thinking about adding the LME toward the end of the boil to avoid unnecessary caramelizing/darkening. If I do this though, its obviously going to affect (increase) the hop utilization. So my question is, how do I recalculate the amount of hops I should use to get approximately the same IBU and hop flavor when boiling without extract?
