I just tapped a Rye IPA and, to my eyes, the color is anywhere between 8-15 SRM, depending on where/how I hold the glass up to my cheap Color Wheel. Predicted color was about 12, so I’m in the ballpark.
But it got me thinking:
How do you all determine what your finished beer color is?
Do you even care?
It is so ridiculously subjective.
What do you use as a guide/template?
Do you hold the glass in front of, behind or to the side of a light?
Is there a beer judge’s standard practice?
Usually, I’m not that concerned. But there are certain styles that I feel should hit a general color range. And I do like to see if the software predicted color is somewhat accurate.
Thoughts?
