In 2014, the spring barley varieties Cerbinetta, IS Maltea, KWS Bambina, Valis, and Zarasa were registered after three-year tests (2011-2013). The highest extract was exhibited by the varieties KWS Bambina (83.5%), IS Maltea (83.1%) and the variety Zarasa (83.0%). All the studied varieties exhibited a very good to optimal level of proteolytic and amylolytic modification. The highest values of apparent final attenuation were recorded in the varieties KWS Bambina (81.5%). The level of cell wall degradation given by friability (86-93%) was optimal in all the studied varieties. Increased ß-glucan content in sweet wort was found only in the variety IS Maltea (230 mg/l). The varieties under study did not have more significant problems with wort haze.In 2014, the spring barley varieties Cerbinetta, IS Maltea, KWS Bambina, Valis, and Zarasa were registered after three-year tests (2011-2013).
