This is my second batch, my first being an Amber Ale. The IPA that is fermenting right now has been doing so for 5 days now, and its starting to slow down. The color though is very dark, just the same as my Amber Ale which is a reddish brown clear color.
I steeped 1lbs of 2 row American, 1/2 lbs crystal malt 10L and 1/2 lbs munch malt 10L for one hour at 150 degrees.
then added 8 lbs of PME and boiled for 90 min adding a 1/4 ounce of hops every 6 mins totaling 4 ounces.
Did I boil too long which resulted in my dark appearance? Or is this color common with this amount of extract?
