Default Can you add to much acid?

I started my first batch from concentrate, before I added the yeast I
did an acid test. It was low so I added some acid blend. It didn't
change so I added more, too much more. The acid test showed a 1.35
following the instructions and the multiplier given. According to my
books it shouldn't be higher than 0.65. The PH was 2.0 and that was
the lowest the strip would go. I really messed up. The acid reducing
powder I have will only reduce acid levels .15 per liter, way not
enough. I guess I'm screwed. Chalk this one up to trying to do it to
fast. Anyone need some metal etched?
