Carafoam Malt - Weyermann

Weyermann Carafoam Malt is a dextrin-style malt designed to enhance foam stability, improve body, and create a smooth mouthfeel without adding sweetness or noticeable color. It provides subtle malt character that supports texture and head retention in pilsners, lagers, wheat beers, and light ales. With its ability to build a rounder, more stable beer profile, Carafoam is used often in styles that rely on clarity and balance.

This malt offers performance benefits for brewers seeking improved structure in lighter beer styles. Carafoam strengthens foam formation and helps maintain lacing throughout the glass, while boosting body in beers that might otherwise finish thin. Its neutral flavor contribution makes it suitable for recipes where malt intensity should remain restrained, and its minimal color impact supports pale and crisp styles. With a color range of 1.4 to 2.9 degrees Lovibond, it provides these enhancements without altering appearance.

Weyermann Carafoam Malt is available milled or unmilled to accommodate different brewing setups. Milled malt can be used immediately on brew day, while unmilled whole kernels provide longer shelf life and allow for custom milling. Because of its versatility, it can be added to nearly any mash to improve mouthfeel and head stability.

To use this malt, incorporate up to 10 percent of the grain bill depending on the desired level of body and foam support. It performs well in all-grain and partial mash brewing and complements both subtle and hop-forward styles. Its dextrin contribution enhances texture while allowing fermentation and flavor development to remain clean and balanced.

Designed to support consistent foam quality and a satisfying finish, Weyermann Carafoam Malt provides reliable performance across a wide range of beer styles. Its subtle character and functional benefits make it a practical addition for brewers refining body, clarity, and overall drinking experience.
