I put on my second Brew last night, Woodfordes' Great Eastern, and I woke to the sound of it bubbling away this morning, so everything is okay (at the moment). But I was surprised by the colour.
Instead of a Yellow, Lager Colour as I've found it drinking in the pub, it is the same colour as the Wherry Kit I did last time.
Has anyone else brewed this kit? Is it likely to get paler with time?
Is The Colour Right???

My biggest failured experiment resulted in a really rich caramel looking wort (basically I melted down 10 mars bars into my boil hoping to impart the flavour. This had a major detrimental effect on the ferment)
After several weeks the beer cleared and looked amazing although a completely different colour to the fermenting wort.

Didn't have the desired effect (wanted the flavour). Also since at the time I was new to brewing I had no idea about things like preservatives and how they effectively kill the yeast.
The beer did eventually ferment but you could hardly tell! This took a very long time to condition before it was clear...
