Tasted a sample of a hefe while measuring an SG and found it quite more hoppy than intended. Will that mellow with age or is there anything I can do to un-hop?

Yeah, but you will probably need a mass spectrometer and a particle accelerator.
A flux capasitor installed in your vehicle will also do it.
Comes standard on a Nissan Leaf.
Hello, You could brew another one right now without hops, ferment it 1 week, then mix 1/2 of each batch into 2 secondary's, wa-la less hoppy beer, and twice as much to drink, its a win win situation! lol
well it was just a thought !

Hi, I am YeastHerders brother.
Our first hef was a bit dark, we felt we burnt the LME.
In an effort to tame the color down the idea was to boil the hops with less LME (25%) then add the LME balance nearer the end of the boil. After it was all done I plugged it into the program and yelped at the IBU of 25.
Now what?
Here is the result (opps)

I'll be the first to say it - DON"T DUMP THE BEER, MAN!
Seriously, I would not dump it. I would bottle it and see what happens. Look at the guidelines for Kolsch in Beersmith - You are really close to those. A good week long cold crash would partially clear it if you can't filter.
That being said - It is your beer and your money - Do want every you want
We bottled it up last weekend.
Actaully we tasted it just prior to bottling and it was a "noob scare".
We are the noobs and the taste early on was scary.
The combined scare of Brewsmith IBU25 and the early taste was bittery yuckl...
But as time passed on and on bottling day we had a taste it is was actually pretty tasty.... Admittedly, it is above it style, but not too outta whack.
But thanks for the offer WileE
beep beep zippp banggg.
Cheers.
