Too many hops for pumpkin ale

[mgrosso]

Just made a all grain batch version of thunderstruck pumpkin ale but didn't realize what I was doing when I added 3 oz of kent Golding to my five gallon batch. It is in primary now and I am about to switch it into secondary today. Is there anyway I can up the sweetness or something to counteract the overdose on hops?

I think lactose is something people use to do that. I haven't personally used it, but I believe it is unfermentable, so it would only add sweetness. Did you calculate what the IBUs would actually be right now? EKG is a fairly low AA. Pumpkin I just did was ~25 IBUs, though I would expect yours to be a bit higher.
