Weyermann® Caramunich® Type 3 – 10 lb Bag – Dark Caramel

Description

Weyermann® Caramunich® Type 3 is the darkest of the Caramunich series, imparting a deep copper-to-mahogany color and intense roasted caramel aromas. Kilned to approximately 53-60° Lovibond, it delivers complex notes of dark biscuit, pastry, and hints of dried fruit. This malt provides significant body and head retention while contributing a distinct “malty” sweetness that balances high hop bitterness. It is the essential specialty grain for robust Marzens, Doppelbocks, and English Strong Ales.

Brewery Mash Tip: Use Caramunich® Type 3 at 5-10% of the total grist for color and flavor depth. Because the sugars are already caramelized inside the kernel, this malt does not require mashing for sugar conversion (it can be steeped), but including it in the main mash ensures the best integration of color and body. It pairs perfectly with Munich or Vienna base malts for a traditional German profile.
