I have a recent batch of Dark Chocolate Stout in my primary for 1.5 weeks in which this time I am using a 5 gallon glass carboy. Someone was over yesterday and told me that if I have hops in anything that light gets to it will make it skunk. (I knew about green glass and skunk but never thought about it while fermenting). Now this is sitting in my living room not in direct sunlight but rather just indirect light. I have then since covered it with a brown paper bag but I was just wondering how detrimental and quickly light will effect beer in beer in a clear glass primary fermenter. Needless to say I will most likely use my white fermenting bucket next time.
Thanks!
Thanks!
