I am starting a simple Brown ale with a touch of ginger for the holidays. I have run out of Chocolate malt but do have Carafa 1 that I ordered by mistake in my last grain order. Can I sub the Carafa 1 for the chocolate? I use 8ozs of choc in this recipe? How much Carafa would I use in its place?....Thanks in advance for all your help!...Bob

Carafa II
We use Carafa II in our lagers as well as ales. I recently ordered Muntons Chocolate too see if there is a difference. Taste wise I could not pick up any difference. However our British Pale Ale turned out considerably darker with the Muntons, even though Weyermans supposedly has a higher lovibond.

Carafa
We use carafa 111 de-bittered in our beers and find it to be a wonderful malt. The de-bittered is nice. It has a nice flavor of coco, maybe not as pronounced but none of the harsh , acrid notes you can get with English cocos. This much I know.
