Weyermann Caramunich Type 2 Malt is a medium crystal malt used to create beers with deep color, rich malt character, and layered sweetness. It contributes notes of caramel, toffee, and biscuit while adding body and smooth residual sweetness, making it well suited for amber ales, bocks, dunkels, and brown ales. Its warm malt profile helps enhance balance in both malt-forward and balanced styles.
This malt provides functional advantages for brewers looking to build depth and complexity. With a color range of 41.9 to 49.5 degrees Lovibond, it imparts an amber to copper hue and supports lasting malt aroma throughout fermentation and conditioning. Its caramelization level allows it to add roundness and mouthfeel without overwhelming the base malts or altering the beer’s core structure. Used in moderation, it brings subtle pastry-like flavors and enhances overall drinkability.
Weyermann Caramunich Type 2 Malt is available milled or unmilled to suit different brewing setups. Milled malt can be used immediately for brew day efficiency, while unmilled kernels offer extended storage life and customizable milling. Its fermentability and crystal composition make it suitable for both all-grain and partial mash brewing.
To use this malt, include up to 10 percent of the total grain bill depending on the desired impact on color, sweetness, and body. It pairs well with pilsner, Vienna, and Munich base malts and complements a range of specialty grains in darker styles. This caramel malt supports fuller mouthfeel and richer flavor without harshness, contributing to a smooth malt backbone in the finished beer.
Designed for enhancing color and malt complexity, Weyermann Caramunich Type 2 Malt provides consistent performance across amber and dark styles. Its balanced sweetness, warm aroma, and reliable conversion make it a versatile choice for brewers refining rich, flavorful beers.
