I'm about to start my fourth batch. The first two were no boil kits and turned out good. The third was the first time boiling the wort made from liquid extract and it turned much darker than it was supposed to. From what I've read this is from carmelization of the sugars. What does that do to the final product and what did I do wrong to cause it? That's going to bottling tomorrow so I'll get a chance to taste it then.
These were all 2 gallon batches and I'm starting my first five gallon this weekend and don't want to mess up the boil. This is what I'm trying:
3.3lbs Coopers Liquid Wheat extract unhopped
1lb wheat DME
1lb amber DME
4AAU Hallertau first hops
2AAU Cascade aroma hops
