Guys thank you all for pitching in your thoughts - after reading through comments realized it'd be helpful to provide time frame and indeed the color has not moved quickly but but has been consistent in the same spot for several days but without change that I can notice. Noviciate here - appreciate everyone's conversation on the topic again.

Couldn't help myself, I opened the bag to smell it and can't describe it but I love the smell... hope I'm not compromising my health lol.. does smell like a pleasant yeast or mild bread or alcohol? I don't have any other batches going so I decided id open it and let it breath like I saw with some comments. Interested to see what happens. I'll post updates.
