Let's be absolutely clear here, MoonshinerRick.

Did you mix the grains with water at about 66°C for an hour or so (it's called mashing), then run off the liquid, rinsing it through with hot water, then boil the liquid which came off the grains?

Or did you boil the grains and do nothing else to them?

A vigorous boil of the liquid after mashing wouldn't make it go darker.

Hello Guy,

Firstly, thank you so much !

1. Yes, i did, and the temperature was 65 ℃, then, like you said, run of the liquid, and rinsed it through with hot water (lower than 65℃, maybe 45℃ I think), then I brought it to boil.
2. Is there any possiblity that the fermentable sugar was browned during the vigorous boil? i mean, with the evaporation of liquid in the bucket, some of the sugar will remain on the wall of the bucket, and once the temperature was too high, the sugar would be browned, right ? and that might lead to a darker beer. Is that possible ?

anyway, thank you so much, for you answer and patience !
