We do it all the time to make an amber if needed.

Absolutely. I generally start with a few gal of Golden but it doesn't seem to sell very well for me. I then blend it with Dark to end up with either Amber or Dark. To do this, put all the lighter color in first, then start adding in the darker. Go very slowly because it doesn't take much to darken it and if you add too much it will all be dark. As you add only mix in a few ounces per gallon of Golden and mix. If you are looking for Amber it might only take 2-3 or 4 ounces to get it to the middle of the Amber range. Sometimes only a pint of Dark will turn a whole gallon from Golden to Dark, sometimes even less.

Thank you I will try it
Golden isn't very popular here either
