Description
Carafa Special Type 3 from Weyermann – dehusked chocolate malt by weight
Carafa Special Type 3 from Weyermann is a chocolate malt that has been 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 3 gives an intense roasted aroma with notes of coffee, toffee, cocoa and dark chocolate.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.

Frequently asked questions about Carafa Special Type 3
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 roasting: 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 roasted aroma.
Why choose a dehusked roasted malt?
With most of the husk removed, roasted bitterness and astringency are low. You get colour and roasted aroma with a smoother character than regular chocolate malt and roasted barley.
Can Carafa Special Type 3 be used as the only malt?
No. The malt has no enzymatic activity and is used together with a base malt that converts the starch into sugar.
Should I choose whole or crushed malt?
Malt starts to lose aroma once it is crushed. Brewshop stores the malt whole and only crushes it when you choose crushed malt in your order. If you have your own grain mill, buy whole malt and crush it right before brewing.
