I imagine it depends upon the type of coloring - some food coloring can also work in liquids - just try dropping a few drops in a glass of water. With beer, you may need a lot of coloring for it to influence the beer color significantly. Depending upon the beer style, you can also color with fruit juices, but of course these will have some affect on the ...

Fruit is not the best color agent here - the flavor will be out of character in an Irish Red. You get the red color from a little roast barley. Take a handful of lightly crushed roasted barley (or two handfulls of whole) and let them stand in half a pint of cold water for half an hour to an hour. Strain the water, which will now be black, boil, then add it ...

Ordinary water-based food coloring works fine. I once made a green beer for St Pats Day by brewing up a simple ale and then adding in yellow and blue food coloring after primary was over until it was green. I would stay away from food products initially, because some of them (like fruit) can influence the flavor as well. One thing to remember is that the ...

In general, darker malts have more concentrated flavor, since the darker compounds created in Maillard reactions and/or caramelization (pyrolysis) and carbonization at high temperatures have a stronger taste. However, although color is a significant indicator, it's only a one dimensional indicator, and doesn't capture all the details of flavor. For ...

They will not taste the same. Its like comparing pale chocolate (200L) to black patent (500+L). There are indeed a range of chocolate malts out there, especially of the English variety. You can use brewing software or a color calculator online to help match it up. If the recipe you want to brew also has SRM along with its supposed OG, FG etc etc, fill in ...
