My friends and I are currently brewing our first batch of beer.
Can of "wheat" extract
1 pound of wheat DME
tube of hefeweizen yeast
Anyway, the beer is currently in the fermenting stage, has been for about 12 days. We are planning on bottling Sunday. Everything up to this point has gone how I have read it should go except.......
The beer is dark! We were going for hefewiezen obviously, but the beer in the carboy is the color of an amber beer or even a brown ale!
Is this bad? Any ideas what could cause this? A Hefeweizen should be light and golden. I guess we'll find out how it tastes soon, but the color thing threw us off.
Thanks!
