Description
Carafa Special Type 2 – dehusked chocolate malt from Weyermann, 25 kg
Carafa Special Type 2 from Weyermann is a chocolate malt that is dehusked before malting and roasting. This reduces astringency and bitterness, while giving the beer a coffee-brown colour, coffee-like aroma and more body and mouthfeel. Type 2 gives a roast aroma with notes of toffee, cocoa and dark chocolate.
The 25 kg sack is intended for breweries and professional customers.
Please note: This product is part of the professional range and is only available in Norway.
Loose malt (100 g, 20 kg and 25 kg) is currently not sold to Sweden. Malt extract and beer kits can be ordered as usual.

Frequently asked questions about Carafa Special Type 2
What is the difference between Carafa Special Type 1, 2 and 3?
All three are dehusked chocolate malts from Weyermann. The difference is the degree of roast: Type 1 is 800–1000 EBC, Type 2 is 1100–1200 EBC and Type 3 is 1300–1500 EBC. The higher the type, the darker the colour and the stronger the roast aroma.
Why choose a dehusked roasted malt?
With most of the husk removed, roast bitterness and astringency are low. You get colour and roast aroma with a softer character than regular chocolate malt and roasted barley.
Can Carafa Special Type 2 be used as the only malt?
No. The malt has no enzyme activity and is used together with a base malt that converts the starch into sugar.
How much should I use?
Up to 5% of the grist; Up to 0.5% for colour adjustment of pale beers; Up to 15% in special recipes with an intense roast character.
