I made it. My OG was .040, FG was .011~.012 maybe - hard to tell exactly.

jonp9576 · Sep 10, 2008

my og was 1.060. right now i'm at 1.011.

Probably nearly time to bottle then. Enjoy.

the picture on the can shows a real light color beer. mine looks pretty dark. is that bad?

It kinda sounds like you didn't add enough water.

jonp9576 · Sep 12, 2008

it made the full 5 gallons. it filled the keg right to the top. i am guessing its too late to add more water now isnt it.

Never made the kit before but I wouldn't worry about the coloring. I believe it's normal for the canned extracts to darken up a bit over time.
