Made a summer ale and I have made this recipe 5 times now, but this time I left the lemon peel and spices in while I cooled the wort So it has a vary bitter citrus taste. Does anyone have any suggestion on something I can add to cut the bitterness?
 
I would suggest a longer than normal conditioning period. Other than that there really isn't anything I know of you could do.
 
You could add lactose or steep some crystal malt. I'd try steeping 4-8oz of honey malt. It won't get rid of your bitterness, but it will provide something for it to play against.
