Profile
CaraFa Special II is a roasted grain that adds a unique flavor profile to beer brewing. With its black color, it imparts deep and rich flavors of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. This ingredient greatly influences the taste of beer by giving it a smooth and velvety mouthfeel with hints of bitterness.
CaraFa Special II is primarily used for adding complexity and depth to dark beers such as stouts, porters, and Schwarzbiers. Its properties make it ideal for enhancing the color while providing a subtle roastiness without any harsh or burnt characteristics. This versatile grain allows brewers to achieve a well-balanced brew with a pleasant aroma and complex flavor profile.
