Not enough hop bitterness. Now what?

[riromero]

I'm brewing a scotch ale with an OG of 1.075. At ten days it's 1.012 so I moved it to the secondary to clear for 2 more weeks before bottling. I had a taste, as is my custom, and there's way too little hop bitterness and flavor. I've dry hopped for more aroma plenty of times but I'm guessing this won't help the bitterness or flavor much. I'm wondering how I might recover? Should I pull a quart or two from the batch and use it to boil some more hops? Maybe just boil with water? Or just leave it alone and learn my lesson for next time.

Scotch ales typically aren't a bitter style; they are more about the malt and body. Dry hopping won't help the bitterness at all; you need to boil the hops to extract the bittering compounds (alpha acids). What was your recipe?
