Weyermann® Carafa® type 2 Special
Black malt gives flavours of espresso coffee or dark chocolate. Some upfront roastiness with a slightly burnt taste.
Use in small amounts for colour adjustment and up to 7 % for dark beer styles where roasty flavours is part of the character. Adds a brown-black colour to beer but not to the foam.
This malt is roasted and lacks enzymatic power. Roasted malts lowers the pH of the mash, which may require additions of calcium carbonate. Carafa® is a registered trademark of Weyermann®.
