New ways of evaluating of malt barley.Peer-reviewed article

V. VLČEK, J. SCHMIDT

The authors give a review of selection methods for the new sorts of malt barley in ČSR. The new sort is required to be of distinctly better quality than hitherto, even when grown under worse breeding conditions. The value of malt barley is testified both by means of sort experiments and malting as well as boiling tests. Basing upon the present experiences the authors conclude, that besides the particular analytic control, malting and boiling microtests and experiments on half-commercial scale, it is necessary to examine the value of every new sort by means of commercial test and compare it with the control sort. The competency of this requirement was acknowledged by commercial tests made in the year 1955-56. They showed substantial differences between the sort of recent breeding and a control sort, which were found also by the chemical analysis. The beer made from the sort of new breeding proved to be of lesser physico-chemical stability and rough in taste.
