Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to all-grain brewing. For the most part the beers I've made all taste decent, but one thing I've encountered is that my beers always seem to darken during bottling. Here's an example.
This was a SRM 6.0 (roughly) IPA I made. Here's a shot of it post fermentation (which was 1 week in primary and then dry hopped or about 2 weeks in the primary as well)
(before.jpg)
After bottling for two weeks, the beer is definitely more orange/amber and far less golden. As a result, I haven't been able to get any of my beers staying light. I have no idea what is causing it. The beers all taste good (in my opinion still, but it's possible hops are masking any problems).
Some people have suggested oxidation, but it seems odd to be to get this type of colour change in only two weeks.
Any thoughts?
