Ok, im racking my brain as to whats going on. I have Belgian brewed with pill's and pale malt only in the secondary. I added brett B to it a few months back, I swear the beer is getting darker. I have BW right next to it, and the Belgian looks like a Stout next to it. (Ok not that bad, but close). The beer is pretty clear so its not the yeast doing this. So please tell me what the hell would cause this.
 
I have had a beer look like a brown ale, turn into a light ale so it might be ok. Other than yat did you scorch the wort?

No it was light as can be when I first pitched the Brett, like giving Bud a bad name for being dark.
 
I really think it will be ok, it might be the lighting or something, ive never heard of fermentation changing the color of a brew.

It taste great, so im not worried about that.But its just driving me crazy as to what is causing it.
