Hey guys.. I'm a little bothered by the color of my beer in the primary. I did a 60 min IPA clone, and it just looks too light to me. Maybe I'm panicking?
Am i over reacting?
Here's what i brewed:
Extract recipe:
DFH clone
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Boil Size: 2.5 gal
Estimated OG: 1.072 SG
Estimated Color: 13.1 SRM
Estimated IBU: 49.8 IBU
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
8 lbs Pale Dry Extract
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt 40L
1.25 oz Warrior [15.00 %] (60 min)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (35 min)
1.00 oz Simcoe [12.00 %] (30 min)
The only difference between this beer and the others I've brewed was I tried DME instead of LME. I feel as though I'm far below 13.1 SRM. more around the 9-10 area if not lower. Also, I boiled a little more than 2.5 gallons. more along the lines of 2.75 to 3 gallons. any thoughts or ideas?
