Why can't the hops schedule be done in plain water instead of in the extract mix?The hops mix and the extract could be added together in the fermenter to max. volume and then cooled ,maybe! <_<
 
Can't be done easily apparently. Have a look at this article.

What you can do is just add some of the extract and boil with the hops, then add the rest of the extract near the end of the boil, just enough to sterilise it, say 15 minutes. So you're not boiling a really concentrated wort and you get good hop extraction. Sound ok? :)
