Post pictures of your final product when its ready.
My latest NEIPA had a great color for like a week, but its already dulled. I don't get it. I feel like there was no possible way for any significant oxygen intrusion, and yet the color is now meh at best. I'll take a picture when I get home and post it... It still tastes fine, I'm getting alot of hop aroma and flavor still, just was really hoping for a better color.
I ferment in kegs, and I transferred to a completely purged keg. My only thought would be that my floating dip tube is causing some issues? The one time I made a beautiful gold NEIPA, I used the sterile siphon starter into a glass carboy, and I figured this would have even less oxygen intrusion... I might buy a 20 inch dip tube or something instead. Maybe that will help. If not, then I feel like my issue would have to be some sort of intrusion during the fermentation process.

I believe i'm going to try my hand at making Lambic Geueze. I want to brew one every year and keep a rotating crop of 1, 2, and 3 year lambics. I will try to do it as traditional as possible, minus the open fermentation portion. I'll use built up bottle dregs from various dregs as my initial innoculates, as well as maybe some commercial blends. I've been wanting to use roselaire for awhile now. I plan on doing turbid mash brews, and the long boil times. I already have a couple lbs of lambic hops. Just need to formulate a recipe, do a little more reading, and decide if i can brew this now, with my current 9.5 gallon kettle and 10 gallon mash tun, or if i will need more space to account for the longer boil time, and thus more boil loss.
May even get a bottle rack for bottle aging and keep that in the beer room.
