So before I start I do want to say that this isn't an oh my god I'm about to dump my beer thread. I am, in fact, relaxing and about to have a home brew.
With that said, I'm curious about what my mistake in hop timing will do to the expected flavor of this beer. What I did, was add the second batch of hops at 15minutes INTO the boil not adding them as I should have with 15minutes LEFT in the boil. Once I realized this mistake I threw in a 1/4oz of cascade hops I had laying around at flameout.
Here is the recipe as it should have been made. Of note though is that two hops are listed, and two times to add, but it doesn't say when to add the larger around and when to add the smaller. Based on other similar recipes I added the larger batch of hops at the beginning.
What do you think? How will it be altered?

*********************
6 lbs. LME
1 lb. Caramunich (40°L)
1 lb. Carapils or Dextrin-Type Malt
4 oz. Roasted barley
1¾ oz. Hallertau hops 3.5% alpha-acid (5¼ AAU)
1 oz. Hallertau hops 3.5% alpha-acid (3½AAU)
2 pt. Starter of Bavarian Lager Yeast (1 pkg. Wyeast 2206 or White Labs WLP-830)
*****I used saflager instead.
⅔ cup Corn sugar for priming
OG: 1.052
FG: 1.008
SRM: 30
IBU: 26
Start with 5 gallons of water in boil kettle. Steep crushed grains at 150°F for 30 minutes. Remove bag and rinse with enough 168°F water to make 5½ gallons. Add extract. Total boil time is 60 minutes. At beginning of boil add Hallertau hops and continue for 45 minutes. Add second Hallertau and boil for remaining 15 minutes. Whirlpool and cool to 45°F to pitch starter. Ferment and condition as above.
