my first all grain brew. i tried to make a warstiener dunkel. the LHBS helped me concoct a recipe for it, but after putting it into the fermenter (saturday) it isn't nearly dark enough. i forget the exact recipe, but there was something like 7lbs of two row pilsner, 3.5lbs of munich, .8lbs of chocolate. it looks kind of like a hefewiesen. i know it's just cosmetic, and i'm sure it will turn out fine in taste, but i'm making the majority of this brew for some friends, and i'd like the presentation of it to be well met.
is there a way to darken the color when i rack to secondary, or when i bottle? maybe some black food coloring or something? i didn't know if anybody else has ever encountered this and found a good fix.
thanks!
