Color?

[jermzlatitude37]

Just made 10gals of a honey blonde and have racked it of the primary and into carboys for conditioning. I've noticed the color has darkened??? It's the color of honey?? Is it the obvious?? The honey sugars changed the brew?? Added the honey at the last 20min of boil. Fermented with Nottingham??

Could the honey have scorched on the bottom of the pot?

Na! No burn at all!! I'm thinking once all the yeast dropped out the true color showed??

Dont panic, the beer looks much lighter when sitting in a white fermenting bucket. That coupled with you looking through about 15inches of beer in the carboy gives the illusion of a much darker beer. Once you get it aged and our it into a glass it will appear much lighter than you thought.

This says it all.

Plus depending on boil length there is a chance you got a bit more carmelization than the recipe may account for.
