What it does :

CaraMunich Malt II is a crystal malt. It will provide a sweet, toasty malt flavor and aroma to your beer.

What it is:

CaraMunich Malt II is a barley malt that is typically black, or 46 Lovibond, in color. It is produced by maltsters from green malt with a three-phase process: stewing to convert the starches into sugars, drying the grains, and roasting to achieve the desired color. This process makes use of the Maillard reaction, which generates desired colors and flavors but makes the sugars unfermentable. This malt contains no enzymes, and therefore does not require mashing.

Vital Statistics

Dosage:

CaraMunich Malt II can be 1-5 percent of your grist. Of course, the actual amount you need depends on the style of beer that you are making. Use our brewing calculators to compute the exact amount you need to achieve your specific original gravity and color targets.

Preparation:

Because the sugar conversion is complete, CaraMunich Malt II is ready for you to steep in 150 F (60 C) water for 20-30 minutes before boiling the resulting extract in the wort. Or, for all-grain brewing, you can add the grains to the mash before the wort boil.
