After doing some research I have been looking at how to make a better extract beer. This weekend I will be brewing a Peach Wheat Ale as follows:
I high jacked this recipe from the Fruit Beer Recipes with minor differences.
50 min boil
2 oz. of Tettnanger @ 45min
1 oz. of Goldings @ 5min
7lbs. of breiss wheat LME
2lbs clover honey
1010 Wyeast Wheat yeast packet
Rack on top of Peach puree into secondary at week 2
SO my question is to achieve a lighter color I was wondering what you experienced extract brewers methods are for adding the LME to the boil? I have read that some don't add the LME till 15-20 min left in the boil and some add a little bit at a time. I am used to just taking my kettle off heat just before reaching boil and mixing it in and finishing the boil with my hop additions.
Is there something that you do to help make the beer color a little lighter?
Or should I just stick with my traditional methods? I put my recipe into brew toad and the SRM are estimated at 4.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated thank you.
