I just brewed an 10 gallon all-grain batch of Alaskan Amber from the BYO magazine. The recipe calls for the use of Wyeast German Ale. However, I decided to use Wyeast American Ale in one of the carboy and Wyeast German Ale in the other so that I could see how they each impact the beer. I am 10 days into fermentation and I have noticed that both beers have extremely different colors. The American Ale yeast strain has created a much darker looking beer than the German Ale yeast strain which is much lighter and closer to amber in color. The beer has been fermenting cstently at 62-64 degrees. I guess my question for other people is if other people have had a similar experience in seeing two different strains of yeast producing different colors of beer.
Thanks,
