Hey all -
I could use some help here. I recently switched over to to all-grain brewing (i'm still a relatively new brewer) and all my batches are darker than I expect them to be and the variation in color between batches is quite a bit. For example, I formulated a recipe for a Belgian Wit and last time the color was just a little too dark, this time I made the same recipe (except added a few more hops) and it is almost an amber color. I read somewhere that a vigorous boil adds color so I've tried to keep it a a low boil and I don't boil for more than 90 minutes. any thoughts?
thanks
joel
