I thought I'd post an update in case anyone comes across this in the future. In the end I dry-hopped with 28g of East Kent Goldings for a week, then added 5l of boiled water before bottling. The beer came out OK and isn't obviously under-bittered. It wasn't quite the style I was aiming for...

Out of interest, a few people have mentioned getting "mixed results" when adding a hop tea. What exactly is meant by this? Did it not increase the bitterness, or did it perhaps adversely affect the character of the beer in some other way? Certainly in my case diluting the beer is not a...

Thanks again everyone. I think I'll leave it to ferment then try one of the options suggested here, depending on how it turns out. I'll post back the results. At least I've learnt that I can get a decent efficiency from my mash.

Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I didn't check the gravity until after pitching the yeast so bringing it back to the boil isn't an option. Would there be any advantage to diluting the wort now, at the beginning of fermentation? Otherwise it sounds like the best strategy is (as ever) wait...

Hello, I've just put my first partial-mash batch in the fermenter and the OG is way too high for the style. I think the reason behind this is that I accidentally set the efficiency too low in the calculator I used; I probably got around 86% mash efficiency but had it set to 35% in the...
