I'm making the leap to all-grain but have run into an issue.
After using Beersmith to convert my favorite extract recipe I noticed that the beer lacks malty taste and almost seems watered down. The base extract in the recipe is Briess Golden Light and I tried my conversion with 2 row. The OG hit right on.
Here's my question: What makes Golden Light "Golden" instead of pale. Is there some amount of caramel to add color and body?
