Hi guys,
Am i correct in stating that depending on the DME used to make a yeast starter, Light, Med or Dark, the final beer colour will be affected for light beers when using med or dark DME. Problem is, I make yeast starters for ALL my beers, and brew shops in SA only sell Medium to Dark DME. This seems to darken my beers and make it near impossible to stick to BJCP guidelines colour wise, when brewing a specific beer. Is there some trick I can use to get past this, maybe use priming sugar (dextrose) for starters??
Any advise will be appreciated.
Mike.
