Hi Guys,
new to homebrew. Just put my 2nd brew in the fermenter and it was a TCB Wetpak - American Pale Ale.
I used exactly what was in the pack. But the whole brew seems to be quite dark. The same as an amber ale. Very rich burgundy/brown.
Is this normal? I would have though it would have been lighter in colour
When i was boiling the malt etc. it was running at a medium boil and not a simmer. Do you think this has something to do with it? It seemed like a little of the malt burnt to the bottom of the pan. Is this normal??
Also, I have longknecks that are 700ml instead of 750. Will it matter if I put two sugar drops in these? I assume sucha small ammount wont make a difference?
hit me back if you have any help. thanks!!!
