I used DME (dried malt extract)instead of LME (liquid malt extract) to brew my current 5 gallon Belgian Grand Cru, little did I know that I should have used a full boil to preserve the light color of the beer.
I chose to use 2.5 gallons of water resulting in the DME caramelizing and getting a nice flavor but a darker, amber color.
The flavor is amazing, but lesson learned!
I think that I like fermenting as much as I like growing giant pumpkins...lol!
