Hello, I have brewed about 7 batches at this point and on the last batch I brewed, I was trying to make a bright yellow and clean IPA. What I ended up getting was more of a pale brown color and I am not sure why. On Beersmith, it estimated a nice yellow color.
My grain bill was
10.5 lbs 2 row
.5 lbs 20L crystal
And there is always this sort of sweet sort of not taste and the beginning of all of my beers. I am not sure if I am tasting the yeast? How can I get the crisp bright yellow color I want and also make the beer crisp and refreshing without that kind of off taste. It may be due to oxygenation(at least that is what I am thinking), but I am doing a single fermentation and I only opened it to dry hop once and to bottle the beer. Not sure what else I can do to get rid of oxygen in the process.
Thanks for any help. Cheers!
