I transferred a Vienna Lager, brewed at ale temps, to the secondary two nights ago. It was a beautiful amber color. I added gelatin finings and lime zest. After a day, the beer has turned very dark. Does anyone know why?

because the pale yeast has fallen out of suspension.

I had the same thing happen with my red ale recently. It was alot lighter than I thought it would be, added the gelatin and tossed it in the fridge. It crystal clear and a dark amber color now. It looks so good I want to drink it flat.
You're looking through 12" of beer. It will be lighter in a pint glass.

Well I was looking through close to the neck so its not 12", and yes it will be somewhat lighter in a pint glass. The suspended yeast made the red look more brown.
