Wheat Beer Color??

Sterilize? This makes no sense to me. Why are you sterilizing the bag? Your boiling the extract. No need to sterilize the container it comes in.

Also, I buy extract in plastic bottles with screw tops. I avoid the metal cans due to the twang that is often associated with them. I'm still not sold on this bag idea, but for each his own.

I soak the bag in hot liquid just to make easier to pour and mix.

My LHBS also puts their extract in a bag. They basically have huge barrels of extract and fill heavy duty bags to your specification.

I recently made a Wheat beer and while it was fermenting, I would sample it from time to time. And for the longest time the beer was a beige color... I was really freaked out. It smelled and tasted fine, but looked horrible. After primary I racked to secondary (I added watermelon) and it cleared up and became a great golden color

Try doing 4lb wheat DME and 2lb pilsen DME. That'll help lighten it up. Wheat DME is fairly dark. BeerTools Pro says 8˚L for wheat DME.
