this is something that I always new to account for but it would be nice to have in the editor, when boiling for longer that 60 minutes or even when adding dme or candy sugar in the beginning of the boil, the amount of time boiling darkens the color of the beer essentially slightly caramelizing the beer, so when this happens the color should change on the recipe editor

example this recipe says 8.79 srm but I boiled it for 120 minutes and it turned into a nice amber ale, the editor should account for this??

this beer turned out to be around 11 srm
