Happy Washington's Birthday!
I recently brewed a Bavarian Hefeweizen from extract, and don't understand why my color is so dark. The fermentables were:
4 lbs Alexander's Pale LME
3 lbs Munton's Wheat LME
1/2 lbs light crystal malt 10L
I neglected to check the date of the LME, I do remember thinking the Wheat LME was dark. And all initial tastes of the wort were bitter. Now, its on the sweet side.
OG was 1.070 and final was 1.020. Was the LME stale?
I used the recipe from Brewmaster's Bible and overshot the OG by 10 points.
Picture attached, light shining through from outside/snow covered ground.
You guys/gals are awesome. Thanks for any insights.
