All things being equal....

All things being equal, if I made a recipe with say 6# of extract and then made the same recipe with 7# of extract, what is going to change?
Seems to me it would take longer to ferment and you would end up with a higher alcohol content. Am I right? Wrong? In the middle somewhere?
Would there be any other predictable changes?
Just curious.
Cheers,
Bill

It would be slightly darker in color and would have a maltier taste. It will have a higher alcohol content if your yeast can take it, otherwise it will be sweeter.

This is all conjecture on my part, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
