Well guys, what's up with this?
I brewed an American amber ale back in November or December of last year, and it was definitely a nice amber color. Due to my procrastinating buying keg equipment, a death in the family, and subsequent depression, I just got around to kegging it last Friday.
I checked on the beer for the first 3 months in primary, and the color was amber until that point. After that, I didn't look at it at all until 2 weeks ago, and the color had turned a putrid brown color. I decided to go ahead and keg it. The flavor is still nice, though.
Also, my batch was 6 gallons so I fermented 1 gallon separately, and I bottled it fairly soon after fermentation was completed. The color of those are still a beautiful amber color.
Anyone have ideas of what happened?
