Hey, I just got done with this recipe:

Citra Pale Ale
6.6 lbs Golden Light LME
1lb DME
1 lb 20l Caramel
.5 Citra @ 25
.5 Citra @ 15
.5 Citra @ 5
.5 Citra @ 1
Gonna do a 1oz dry citra.

I went ahead and decided to add 1/2 the LME at the beginning of the boil and the 2nd 1/2 at the 15 minute mark, I really want a nice golden color none of my beers ever seem have. So when I was scramblin, i quickly removed the pot from the heat and added the 3.3lbs lme and put it back on, but my boil was gone and seemed to take forever getting back to to full boil. I could see it rolling underneath but it took about 5 minutes to get back to any type of what you would call rolling.

Being this is such a short boil anyway, Would this effect my short 25m hops from giving me the correct IBU's? Or will the just about boiling but not quite of sufficed?
 
Thanks!

I was worried that I would be all off balance and not be pale alish whatsoever.
