I made a pretty standard APA with cascades and Glacier.
It was not that long ago I switched over to 6.5 gallon glass carboys. But I have done at least 4 or 5 batches in it before. My carboy sits in the basement during fermentation. There is no direct sunlight, but it is not that dark down there during the day. I have never had a problem with light struck beer before.
But my beer tastes kind of like a slightly more hoppy Heineken. It has the flavor that all of the beers that come in a clear/green glass bottle share.
3 weeks in carboy
cold crashed in a cornie.
My only real worry is that i am wrong about it being light struck. This was my first AG. And I got a really low efficiency (which I have fixed.) And I want to confirm that that is not the problem.
I decided to call this brew "Star Struck Pale Ale."
