Hi all,
I mostly brew darker beer styles because these are styles I tend to enjoy more. I have experience brewing lighter styles (saison/single/triple) but they never really are paler than a burnt orange.
Now that I’ve got a few batches under my belt, I’d like to take a couple cracks at whipping up some paler beers (kolsch/blond/New Glarus Spotted Cow) and want to nail color since that’s my current personal challenge. What tricks in the process ensure a paler color?
Truth be told I am a bottle conditioner and don’t have the equip to keg (maybe one day). I siphon my beer as gently as possible and use a bottle wand.
Recipe formulation, mash, boil, chiller, fermentation tricks?
Much appreciated.
