I did my first brew this weekend and was hoping to get a amber colored beer but when I got done boiling and used the hydometer I could barely see thru the the thing it is only about the diameter of a quarter my question is when it get done fermenting will it lighten up?
Here is what I used and the process,
6.6 pounds, Amber Extract
2 cups Orange Blossom Honey (boil)
0.5 pound, crystal malt 90 lov.
Steeped the crytal malt until about 170º
Added Honey and Malt Extrac at 170º brought to a boil. Boiled for 10 mins. Added 1.5 oz of hopps boiled for 25 mins and added .5 oz. hopps for 5 mins. cool to 75º check w/ hydrometer added yeast sitting in spare room.
