This is my 2nd batch and all my beers come out so much darker then they should.
SRM should be around 5.
Monday is kegging day.
Please help
I've found that extract kits come out a little darker . You can add the LME at tail end to lighten it up .
I have attached the extract sheet that came with it from more beer.
What else will I need to go all grain.
The only thing you absolutely need (in addition to what you already have) in order to brew all gain with the BIAB (brew in a bag) method is a fine mesh polyester or nylon bag that is just large enough to put your kettle in. A smaller bag will constrain the grains too much during the mash, and a larger bag just kind of gets in the way. You can buy an excellent, custom made bag from http://biabbags.webs.com/. Prices are quite reasonable, and the pulley option will help tremendously with bag handling.... What else will I need to go all grain.

It should. Either the product isn't consistent or my LHBS is packaging incorrectly. I suspect it's an inconsistent product.Hmm... 1.040 should be the same SRM
1.040 for a starter is just 100g in a litre (or 10% w/v for metrically challenged). It's actually a bit under 1.040, but close enough for starter wort. No need for beersmith.but I guess I could play withing things in BeerSmith and achieve the same estimated OG.
The recipe didn't state if dry or liquid malt extract was used (it's one of the main factors in color when brewing with 'extract').
MoreBeer kits use LME
Tail end?
Of the boil?
You didn’t miss it... that part of the recipe instructions were cut off the OPs screen shots.And maybe I missed it, but I don't see where the anticipated SRM values came from.
I have brewed quite a few LME kits and they are usually much darker than predicted
When the model doesn't match reality, then the model is wrong/inadequate by definition. Of course you need to be sure you actually know what reality is.A frequently reported experience. Does that suggest that 1) reality is wrong or 2) the model to predict reality is wrong?
