Can I Add Bittering Hops While Ccing?

[Enerjex]

Hi all, I've got a brew that's in a water container in the fridge cold conditioning. Tasting it I think it's going to mature into a nice beer to drink, but just lacks a bit of bite (well lacks a lot of bite). It was only after I brewed it I discovered beersmith and it's only 10.6IBU. I dry hopped an extra 20g of EKG in yesterday to try and give it something but now I'm wondering whether I can boil up some more willamette (the bittering hops used in it) for 60 mins and simply add it to the container. I understand it's preferable to boil hops in malt but I don't want to add unfermented malt to it as I have to bottle it not keg it. Will it be ok to do it with some water? If there is a better way to do it please I'm all ears :beer:

Do you bulk prime?

If so, how about waiting till bottling time, using some DME to prime, and boiling the hops up with the DME then.
If not, you should.

OTOH, your plan would work. I've read contradictory things about just boiling hops in water and it certainly doesn't seem that it would ruin things.

yeah i do bulk prime but i was thinking about doing it at this stage so i can taste test it and gauge exactly what it's done a bit better. I was thinking of doing it as a 30 minute boil to get some flavour as well.
