I brewed a Belgian Wit (albeit hoppier) and while I'm satisfied with the taste, the color is unappealing. My grain bill was:
4.5 lb. pale 2-row
4.5 lb. American wheat
0.5 lb. flaked wheat
0.5 lb. flaked oat
While I wanted a hazy finished product, the beer is tan and doesn't fit anywhere on a beer color chart. It is missing a straw color (yellow hue) I was hoping for.
Yeast is WLP 410
I am hoping for some help understanding how I might have messed up the color and ideas on how I might correct without impacting flavor. Here are my current thoughts:
- it looks a bit like water when making oatmeal. Could the oats be the source?
- I'm relatively new to dryhopping which I did in this beer. Any potential issues?
This is my first time posting so I apologize if I messed up in some way. I sure appreciate your feedback. I'm trying to add a photo but not successful on my iPad. I will try to get one up from another device.
wrong orientation, but you get the idea
