Green?

Does 2 tablespoons of food color really make the beer green?
does it turn the beer green?

boy does it! I'd actually recommend 'greening' it during bottling, adding 3-4 drops per bottle. We actually turned a bunch of Coronas green last year, popped 'em open, dropped about 2 drops per bottle, and sealed 'em back up. All my non-brewing friends were amazed!

Ok, I'll give it a shot... it came out a little bit more orange than I was hoping, but I am still going to give the "green" a go! Thanks for the reply!
