I'm brewing the Vienna Lager and I'm wondering if the Black Malt Viking will substitute for the Carafa II that the recipe calls for?

Eric Burke on Nov 11, 2021

Black Malt - Viking Malt

Carafa Special II 5 lb

BEST ANSWER: Most likely the small amount you need to use will make only a tiny difference in the finished beer. Black malt is a different flavor from the Carafa and will overall be more robust, have more body, and lean more toward cocoa than roast. Also the husk present on the Black malt will possibly add some bitterness that the carafa will not contribute. If you like sweeter dark beers then then the black malt will do well. If you just want color and not really much impression from the black grain then you will need to use a de-husked grain such as carafa.

No two malts are exactly alike, but chances are if you like a beer with one, you'll like it with the other. It depends on how dialed in your expectations are. In this case, if the Carafa II you intended to use is Carafa Special II, then it is dehusked. and I don't believe the Viking is. So you will get something roastier in taste with Viking. If you want to avoid that, you could try cold steeping it..
