Farbmalz ?

[Blue-Frog]

I have been reading some old German books & came across the word "Farbmalz"
One translation was 'color malt'... ok but

Exactly which (eg. Weyermann) Malts would be called "FarbMalz" ?

Carafa? yes?

Since books are old, does someone know which malts now available,
have only been around for a few years?

What are the old, traditional malts (in Germany) and which are only modern refinements/inventions?

Would a "Helles Malz" be a special malt, or a generic term for pilsener malt?

Here's a good chart to use to understand some of the German malt names:

Basically, Röstmalz or Farbmalz is Carafa I.

Thanks for that link!

I will read it and see what I can learn.

Thanks.
