Is it possible to get a light colored beer with liquid extract? I just brewed the AHS American Wheat kit and it came with 7lbs of wheat liquid extract. This stuff was really dark and I find it hard to believe that it would be possible at all to get a typical wheat color using this extract even if I was able to do a full volume boil. Would it be better in the future to use dry extract when trying to go for lighter beers? Or should I in the future always use dry. I don't see myself being able to get into all grain for about another year so that answer is out of the question. Thanks for the help.
