I was thinking today about the concept of light affecting beer flavour, if that beer is exposed to light throughout fermenting and conditioning. I know my beer stays in the dark untill the day it goes in the fridge. (Thats generally what I have read is the best for the beer.)
But that got me thinking. A lot of brewing information is repeated over and over with the source having no evidence of its credibility. (I'm sure most of its correct, and Im guilty of this as would be most of us.)
Thinking outside the square, I am wondering if there is any positive qualities that exposing beer to different light conditions might achieve?
Has anyone ever found a credible source that has tested this or have an opinion?
Surely some PHD student would of looked into this?
Meh... Im getting to serious about this whole home brew thing.
