Hello,
I've recently brewed a NE IPA, planned to get the colour at 5 SRM (10 EBC). I've added 4 kilograms of hop (pellets and whole leaf) in the Whirlpool, 3 kilograms (pellets and whole leaf) during primary fermentation and another 4 kilograms (only pellets) 5 days before bottling. I've used a mix of Wyeast 1318 London Ale III and White Labs WLP008 East Coast Ale. I bottle conditioned the beer.
Now the bottle conditioning has been completed, the beer turned out way darker than the previous mentioned 5 SRM. What could have caused this? At the moment I have a second batch in the fermenter, hopefully this one will become lighter in colour. This time I've only used Wyeast 1318 and did some of the hop additions with hop burst (oils).
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Kind regards,
