Even if the recipe was changed, with Midnight Wheat it shouldn't be yellow/gold... it doesn't take much MW to change the color of a beer!<br /><br />To be honest, I don't think there's much I WOULD change with the homebrew recipe. It's pretty fantastic. It's also been a little while since I had it; I wouldn't mind trying it with a different yeast though. Maybe Wyeast London Ale III?Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-17631832615555275602015-03-18T23:12:27.067-03:002015-03-18T23:12:27.067-03:00Just a little follow up to my reply - my local bar...Just a little follow up to my reply - my local bar (Brother's Beer) just received some kegs and a shipment of cans. I bought blazing world and fortunate islands, and while there sampled BW off the tap and to my amazement - its lager like yellow/gold! what the hell. Even the can has the change in recipe to using Pale/Munich and midnight wheat opposed to the caraffa and roasted barley that we brewed! I love the taste of that original recipe especially with the dark amber colour! what would you do to improve yours for a rebrew?Chris Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976180906883646937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-50545791873829675052015-02-16T17:14:44.316-04:002015-02-16T17:14:44.316-04:00It's pretty dark, from what I remember.

Check out Untappd and search for it, there's plenty of pictures that beer drinkers have snapped.<br /><br />Mind you, I find my beers always look darker in the fermentor, compared to when a much smaller volume is poured into a glass. Even the glass style can make the color look different!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-39251728906616351242015-02-16T16:53:28.726-04:002015-02-16T16:53:28.726-04:00I'm also brewing this at the moment (currently...I'm also brewing this at the moment (currently sitting with the dry hops). mine unfortunately crapped out at 1.020, (from 1.069) have swirled the fermenter and bumped up the temp slightly to try and rouse the yeast and finish off the last bit of ferment. I noticed mine is incredibly dark amber/brown - how does this compare with the actual commercial beer? (we don't often get to see it here in NZ).
