Carafa II, III and Promash

For those that got on the Carafa Special grain split I just wanted to let you know that the malt gives you a darker beer than what PM says it will. Wyermann doesn't really give you a detailed Lovibond. Its actually a wide range. I maxed out the LB in PM when I added these malts. My Alt is not the typical color it usually is. It is more of a darker brown. A few LB lighter and it would of been perfect. Luckily this is the Dehusked Special so no roasted flavors will come through. The variety that is not dehusked usually imparts more flavors. So I suggest using less than what your recipe calls for.......I'm not sure about Beersmith or other online recipe formulators....Just some info. I thought id pass along....
