Description

Carafa Special III malt - Weyermann

Carafa Special III malt is a dark-roasted specialty malt made from high-quality spring barley. This malt is a perfect fit where malt-based bitterness is not desired, As the dehusked version of Carafa, it produces rich colour, body, flavour and aroma without the harsh flavours and astringency typical of dark-coloured grains. This grain is ideal for bock, doppelbock, altbier, and especially Schwarzbier. Small amounts can be used for colour adjustment in amber beers. Also nice in stouts and porters.
