I'm actually tempted to throw down a straight can of bitter with just a bag of BE2 and see how it comes out, just to understand the taste of the base kit, then try a few more variants.
If you want to understand the taste of the base kit, use only the base kit and make it up to 12L.
that'll give you a pretty terrible understanding of the bitterness when it's made up to 23L though..

i'm aware of that :shock: :-?

it's not going to give you much of an idea as to whether or not you'd want to add bittering hops to a full-size batch.

But if you double the liquid and fermentables you halve the bitterness...or so I was led to believe.
