Starting a new thread as the one this reply was made on was closed. I bought a Texas Bock recipe from AHS and they sent a little packet of coloring in the kit. I was a bit miffed as this coloring packet left my brew opaque. The response was this was the same stuff Shiner Bock used - here is the post and reply:

That coloring is purportedly the same stuff Shiner uses ...
Ok - if this is the case, what does Shiner use to clear this up as their beer is crystal clear. I followed the instructions and it simply said dump the packet in the boil - not sure how this can be messed up Anyway - any ideas for the next time, or simply use roasted grains like I would have figured?
