Accidental GREEN Beer !!! Anyone else have this happen?

[vb4677]

Ok, I did my second batch of a great, all grain cream ale. In preparation for a more 'fall' version, I chucked in 0.75 oz dried, sweet orange peel from the LHBS, and 1.25 oz hand crushed coriander in the last 10 mins of a 90 min boil.

I transferred to the fermenter, and I noticed it looked sorta greenish, but still within the normal brownish color range (a tad too dark compared to the first batch, but ok...).

A couple days into fermentation, I used a small light to illuminate my Speidel fermenter and it's a GREEN beer !!

Am I hosed? Do I just RDWHAHB?

I plan on letting it ferment for 14 days, then cold crash and gelatin like I've done before, but am I about to be the laughing stock of the family gathering this turkey day?

Ive noticed that with very pale pilsner malt based beers, with some hops. Especially if alot of hop material gets transferred accidentally to the fermenter. It passes after the beer falls clear. RDWHAHB.

I'm really curious to see some pictures of this now.

Hops are green. Don't go by the calendar to proceed to the next step, use a hydrometer.

Got home tonight - took a light to the fermentor and we are no longer green, but rather a nice, pleasant golden color.
Chalk another one up to RDWHAHB !
