Caramunich Type 2 - Weyermann

Caramunich® Type 2 – Weyermann

A medium-roast caramel malt from Weyermann in Bamberg, Germany. Caramunich Type 2 sits in the middle of the Caramunich range, delivering rich caramel sweetness, toasted bread crust, and hints of raisin and fig — adding smooth colour, body, and malt depth to a wide range of amber-to-dark styles.

Use at 5–15% for smooth colour and flavour depth, or higher in malt-forward recipes where body and richness matter. Blends particularly well with a touch of chocolate malt or roasted barley for depth without excessive roast.

Brewer's notes

Increases body, smooths out bitterness, and helps develop a deeper malt backbone — especially useful in beers with rich malt profiles or higher ABV. A solid choice for adding smooth, layered colour to mid-strength beers without muddying the finish.
