Carafa Type 3 Malt - Weyermann

CARAFA Type 3 is a dark-roasted specialty malt made from high-quality spring barley. It's carefully roasted to add an espresso-like bouquet, coffee and chocolate flavors, and a mild but noticeable roasted aftertaste. It produces an opaque beer with a brown/black colour. CARAFA Type 3 is similar to 'Chocolate' or 'Black' style roasted malts, and can be used in any dark lager or ale. CARAFA Type 3 has become particularly popular in Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale recipes as a major contributor to the colour and malt flavor.

Where malt-based bitterness is not desired, consider using CARAFA Special Type 3. The de-husked version of CARAFA, it produces a rich colour, body, flavour and aroma without the harsh flavours and astringency typical of dark-coloured grains.
