Hello everyone! Recently I brewed my first IPA with chinese Nugget, and I had a sip of that yesterday after gravity reading and it's bitterness is way too harsh. It's been fermenting for 11 days already including 5 days of secondary. People say here that bitterness mellows with aging, but I want to try to bottle one third of the batch now and pour the same amount of diluted DME (6l +650g DME) back into fermenter. Do you think it will start fermenting again and if it's not a stupid idea at all?

15g FWH
