Graff Cider- Very Dark

[Listen_Up_Sonny]

I just put together a batch of Graff cider according to the recipe in the recipe section. I used the 120L grains because I was using store brand juice.

Fermentation just started, but I am surprised at how dark it is. It is the color of stout. Is this normal? I was expecting it to not be that much darker than AJ?

I tasted it, and it tastes good- apple, malty, very little hop.

mine used crystal 60 as was very dark in the fermenter until fermentation finished and it began to clear. Once that happened, the colour lightened considerably.

Yes, it lightens considerably once everything settles out post fermentation.
