Over pineappled!

Attempted clone of Sweetwater’s Goin’ Coastal and I added 2 oz of Brewer’s Best pineapple flavoring at kegging to 5 gallons. After carbing, the aroma and flavor is too much. Any way to subdue the pineapple a bit? I don’t want to drain pour it because it’s otherwise perfect.
Maybe the flavor will subside after some time? Thanks.

Brew another batch (without the pinapple extract) and blend it. And, remember the next time you add flavoring do it a little at a time, because you can add more, but not take it out.

Yup. Lesson learned. I even added half of what I thought I’d need. Oh well, I’ll let this batch sit in the fridge while I brew another. Thanks.

I have never found a fruit flavoring (any fruit) that didn't taste like artificial crap.
Add real fruit (juice, puree, whatever) for real taste.

I did a pineapple lager a couple of years ago and used 2 oz of pineapple extract. It was undrinkable for the first few months but I try never to throw out any brews. After about a year it had mellowed out. I have a couple of bottles left after 2 years and it's pretty good. In other words, it will mellow but not quickly. Next time I plan to use 1/2 - 1 oz.
