Hi all. Have tried the site search with numerous combinations, but three letter words don't work!
I'm wondering if I could take a one can kit, like a coopers stout, and brew to 10 litres without additional sugar, rather than add loads and brew to 20ish. Would this work? Is there any point even? I'm thinking my two kegs are full and I don't really want to buy 40 bottles as I'd rarely use them, but I'd make do with a box of the brown pet ones...
 
Aren't LME in one can kits hopped to be brewed to higher volumes than 10 litres.

You might end up with very hoppy beer!
 
Ahhh...
I like hoppy beer, but perhaps not twice as hoppy as it ought to be!
 
Doing this wouldn't really work. It would end up extremely bitter but not 'hoppy'
The equivalent of chucking tonnes of bittering hops in at the start of a AG brew but no (flavouring) aroma hops in at or near the end
