So I have been brewing awhile, I have made dark beer, light beer, porters, lagers...
I live next to an area breweries manager and he brought over a CDA that they made. I make a habit of trying to decipher how things are done at the big boys so that I can do better on my own. This beer was black, I mean black. When I asked him how he achieve the color without adding a bunch of chocolate and dark malt flavors he told me that he couldn't tell me. ARGGG. He is right, he can't but I wanted to ask the community, are there other ways other than just straight dark malts to achieve dark beers?
thanks
