I just bought a box of Northwestern Weizen LME (3.3 lbs) and I'm not sure if it has the correct bag in the box. What color should the extract be? This is a very dark caramel color. I expected something much lighter.
Color of liquid wheat extract

LME will lighten up as it is diluted by the rest of the water.
And at the same time, you've found why DME is a better choice if you want a really light color.
