Just did a partial mash Koelsch recipe that I posted on here a couple weeks ago. Everything went fine except for the fact that Koelsch looks more like a brown ale...
Partial mashed by the steps of DeathBrewer. Only had a 6 gallon pot and a 3 gallon so I boiled half of the wort in one and half in the other. 60 minutes each, exact same batches split in half: 1 can LME per each, divided hops evenly, etc.
At the end when I was chilling the wort to pitching temps, the beer looks RIDICULOUSLY dark for a koelsch. It's probably going to taste fine, pitched the yeast @ 68F. OG 1.063, FG mark 1.014
Is the color going to mellow out at all? Why is the beer so dark? Beersmith says otherwise and I plugged everything in correctly (yes, i know: beersmith is not 100% accurate when it comes to colors). What can this be attributed to?
Edit* Yes, I know, RDWHAHB. im not worrying, i want to learn why the colors are the way they are is all. btw, this is still a koelsch because I say it is.
