Carafa Special® TYPE II; Weyermann®
Carafa Special® TYPE II; Weyermann®
German-grown two-row spring barley (2004 harvest). Product Characteristics: CARAFA SPECIAL® is the de-husked version of CARAFA®. Using our unique process, we remove the husks from carefully selected grains before malting and roasting them. Reduces astringency and bitterness, while adding coffee-brown color, a coffee-like bouquet, dark-beer aroma, as well as body and mouthfeel to finished beer—but without introducing harsh flavors. Even small amounts of CARAFA SPECIAL® malts in the grain bill produce dark beers of unusual smoothness and mildness with a firm, creamy, white head. Recommended Quantities: Up to 5% of total grain bill Suitability (beer styles): Lagers: Dunkel, Doppelbock Ales: Dark, Stout, Altbier

Brewed 7/11/13

Hit the numbers. Mashed 90 minutes at 149F. Boiled 90 minutes. Pitched 4 liter (24hr) starter (2 liter per carboy) into 1.051 S.G wort at 67 degrees. Into the fridge, set at 60 degrees. Next morning, active fermentation, 60 degree wort.

Fermented in about 3 days at 60 degrees. On day 4 I removed from the temp control fridge, and let it sit at basement temp (68) until I kegged 7/29. F.G. 1.016, which is a little higher than I would have liked. Not sure why attenuation was low, but I can only suspect the mash, as the ferment was vigorous and the beer tastes pretty good.
First place

Even though this finished a little high, it was a tasty beer and took first place (out of 17 in the flight) at the Dayton DRAFT competition 9/12/13.
