I brewed a IIPA (recipe below) 11 days ago and tasted it for the first time tonight while dry hopping. It tastes pretty good but there is a lingering bitterness that lasts for several minutes after tasting. I'm 90% sure it's due to the amount of hops. My question is whether or not it will mellow out with time. I'm considering watering it down since it also over attenuated so it would help with two potential issues.
This is also the first time I dabbled wit water chemistry. I had m water tested and I added lots of gypsum, and a little calcium chloride and table salt as well as lactic acid to target Bru'n Water's Pale Ale profile and a 5.4 mash pH. Also used a campden tablet.
