I just brewed a gallon batch with 8 lbs 2-row, 1 lb belgian aromatic, 1lb belgian biscuit and 4 oz. chocolate malt. Although I expected around 17 SRM, this came out dark as a porter. OG=1062. Mashed 120 for 30 min, then raised to 150 gradually for 30 min. Normal sparge.
Why would this turn out so dark? I double milled the grain, would that affect the color so significantly?
Beer Darker than expected
