I'm not a Hops expert , but I don't think 15 minutes wouldn't be long enough to add bittering qualities.

BeerSmith should be able to calculate it all for you. You'll just need to fiddle around a bit to allow for the 8-litre boil but 23-litre (or whatever) final volume.

Got that far, but I can't tell it I will add the extract afterwards.
I can remove the extract from the recipe, look at the IBU, then add it back in. Is that an accurate reading on what my IBU will be or does that affect a few factors at once by removing it?

But quick question:
If this is effective, why don't people just boil up hops in straight water with an SG of 1000 and add that to the fermenter?
