CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 2, Weyermann®, EBC: 1100–1200

CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 2 from Weyermann® – weighed out

CARAFA® SPECIAL Type 2 is a dark-roasted barley malt with high colour intensity and a smoother, less bitter roasted character than regular CARAFA® Type 2. A large part of the husk is removed during Weyermann's special manufacturing process, and the roasting is adjusted to reduce roasted bitterness and astringency.
