I made my first AG a little over three weeks ago, a simco smash. I just kegged it from primary and it has a slight catty flavor. I haven't dry hopped and don't plan to for about two months. I want it to be ready for a party May 30th and at 9.13% ABV it can use some time to age. I was wondering if the catty flavor (I have read possibly created by the simco) would diminish over time.
Here is the recipe I used, but I missed my mash temp by a couple degrees:
