North Rim Wheat Beer Question

[bchurch]

This is my first batch of North Rim Wheat beer, I was wondering if anyone else has used this kit? My batch has a darker color then most wheat beers I've seen and has a strong hop aroma, Anyone else find this to be the case? Also my wife is a fan of the flavored wheat beers any recommendations?

That was my first beer as well; I got the kit from Homebrewer's Outpost. It definitely was darker almost like a brown but tasted fine and everyone seemed to like it.

If it is an extract batch, you can normally expect them to be a bit darker than non-extract beer. That's in the FAQ.

Ahh...the FAQS page. Almost forgot about those! Thanks for the answers and it's reassuring that everyone seemed to like it. I can't wait to try it!

I have read that you can save 1/2 of the extract from these kits for the last 10-15 miutes of the boil in order to keep the color of the ale from going to dark. Might be worth trying.

I'll have to try that next time, thanks for the tip!
