I've been brewing all grain for 7 years and now I have an issue. Had some pump problems and lost track of sparging a Rye IPA. Sparged too fast and the og was 10 points low. I know....any the hop bill was for a 1070 beer not a 1060. Needless to say it's kegged and too bitter to be good. drinkable but not good. Does any of you world class brewers know how to go about adding a little sweetness back into this beer? Thanks all..Cheers. Simie
 
Could either give it time for the bitterness to mellow or maybe using milk lactose as its pretty much unfermentable
 
too bitter

you can't say 'too bitter' to an IPA... :)
how many IBU? maybe it's just too young and tastes need to amalgamate better. or Rye gave some bready bitternes to the beer (it reminds me the Sudtirol rye bread, that is somehow bitter compared to normal bread)
