CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 3, Weyermann®, EBC: 1300–1500, 25 kg

CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 3 from Weyermann® – 25 kg

CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 3 is a very dark specialty malt with high colouring power and a finely roasted aroma. A large part of the husk is removed before the tailored roasting, which reduces roasted bitterness and astringency without removing the malt's intense colour.

Flavour and use

The malt provides nuances of coffee, cocoa and dark chocolate. It is suitable for dark beer styles such as Schwarzbier, Black IPA, Black Ale, porter and stout, when you want a deep colour and roasted character with a smoother finish than standard CARAFA® Type 3.

CARAFA® SPECIAL or regular CARAFA®?

Choose CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 3 when you want a strong colour and dark flavour notes, but a less sharp roasted character. If you want a more distinct classic roasted profile, you can choose regular CARAFA® Type 3.
