I brewed a Northern Brewer honey kolsh kit a couple of weeks ago for an up coming Marti Gras party thinking it would make a good chick beer. As always I added some fermentables to boost the ABV in this case an extra 2#s of honey and expermented by adding some orange zest (I imagined a nice light beer with an orangy finish) -- the wort tasted great! 2 weeks later, I racked it yeaterday it's at 8% ABV, very cloudy and has a pretty nasty bitter/sour taste. I still have 4 weeks to the party; do you think it will improve with age or does anyone have any suggestions on salvaging this batch if it doesn't improve?
