I made a pale ale today and the SRM came out darker than the brewing software had calculated - this is the second time this has happened.
The grain bill, for 4 gallons (UK), was:
- Pale malt (Maris Otter) 4.5kg (84.91%)
- Crystal 0.3kg (5.66%)
- Vienna 0.5kg (9.43%)
The estimated SRM was 9.8, though has turned out closer to about 16. What made this happen?
Also, the estimated OG was 1.058 (@ 70% efficiency), though the beer ended up at 1.066. I adjusted the efficiency in the brewing software to hit 1.066, and it was 91%. Could this have affected the colour?
