In 2008 following malting varieties of spring barley were registered in the Czech Republic: Acrobat, Aktiv, Bernstein, Kangoo, Marthe, and Publican. The varieties Bernstein, Acrobat, Marthe, Publican, and Kangoo provided malts with very good extract content (82.4 to 82.9%). Activity of amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes was high in all the studied varieties. Optimal quality of wort was reflected in high values of final attenuation (81.8-84.0%). The variety Aktiv, unlike the other newly registered malting varieties, had a lower level of modification of cell walls (friability 83%, β-glucan content in wort 223 mg/l). In addition, a non malting variety of spring barley Azit was registered. In 2008 six winter barley varieties were also registered, i.e. three two-row varieties Breunskylie, Caravan, and Florian, and three six-row varieties Galante, Highlight, and Scarpia.In 2008 following malting varieties of spring barley were registered in the Czech Republic: Acrobat, Aktiv, Bernstein, Kangoo, Marthe, and Publican.
