Nice one, looks nice and pale in the trial jar!! Tasted pretty good too so I wasn't 100% worrying. but when you see something unexpected you always wonder :pray:
Hi all
I've got an American Pale Ale which I've made using an extract kit in the FV just now. It's been in there for about 10 days and the hydrometer readings are still going down but the top looks completely different from the other brews I've done (only 2!) so no idea if anything's wrong or...
