I am tweaking a DIPA (NEIPA style) recipe and really looking to stay as close to straw yellow as possible but can't seem to do so with my steeping grains.
Currently my bill is:
6 lb Pilsner DME
1 lb Bavarian Wheat DME
1.5 lb Flaked Oats
0.5 lb Carapils
0.2 lb Crystal 20
I am getting 5 SRM on brewers friend and really want to make sure I can included the steeping the grains for body and some sweetness but I have found even in the 4 SRM range and adding half the extract at flame out - I still get a bright but much more orange beer than a pale straw yellow one. Any suggestions?
P.S. I keg, ferment under pressure, CO2 purge everything, and do closed transfers --- oxidation is minimized everywhere.
