So I was attempting a single hop IPA/PA experiment.

My intention was to brew a 6 gal wort, and boil two 3 gal (boil dow to 2 gal) batches with a different hop in each one. Ferment in 3 gal carboys.

I messed up. I wanted my IBU'S around 45. In the recipe calculator I did not adjust the hop calculator to a 3 gal wort. So instead of 45 IBU's, I ended up with something around 100 IBU's.

I'm wondering if there is something I can do to balance it out a bit. I have 1 lbs of golden light DME.

Ay suggestions?

Or should I just go with it and deal with a super bitter IPA?

See how it turns out. If you don't like it, maybe let it age for six months. I find six month aging could probably turn the water used to boil cabbage, into a fine and complex cognac.
