perhaps some camera trickery (the yellow light helps).....there is a fair bit of break hovering around in the bottom of the glass too.

Did you hit all your numbers, mate? What was your estimated colour according to beersmith?

Mashing at the mo - will have photos in a few hours, think a fuxored up my estimated SRM for roast barley, mash wort just looks pretty brown. Might have to do those sneaking-some-roast-barley-into-the-sparge styles to get my colour right haha.

You crack me up bro! I'm sure it'll be fine. Mine was as brown as... well... inapropriate... but you get the idea. It was pretty brown... Once things dilute through the sparge, and the hot / cold break the wort gets a reddish tinge on.

Haha yeah, I'm the paranoid type.

Oh well, did a mini steep of some roast barley and added a bit of that to adjust colour, should be pretty close once it's boiled down...I hope.

Stu, where the fuck are you!? Need the SRM or EBC for roast barley haha.

500-600 lovibond. So if you pick out all of the darkest bits you will have about 600, or the paler bits for 500 ;-)
