I made an extract version of https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/jamils-blonde-ale-35824/ yesterday, and as I was pouring it into my fermenting bucket, it looked really dark. Did I do something wrong? I can't help but think that maybe I bought the wrong DME, or too much Crystal.... The Tasty Brew Calculator said it should be a nice golden color, but it looked more like the English brown I made
Details:
1lb of 10L Crystal steeped for 20 minutes btw 150 and 160F
5lbs of Breiss Golden Light DME
1oz Fuggles Pellets (4.3%AA) boiled for 60 minutes
Safale S-05 yeast (pitched at 78F)
My OG was 1.044 @80F, so I think that's right about on target.
Am I freaking out for no reason? Will it lighten up as time goes on?
