Study evaluates malting barley quality in the Czech Republic from harvest 2010. Due to unfavorable weather conditions during harvest, biological, physiological damage and black tips occurred in barley. Barley had average protein content and slightly above average starch content. Most of the malt quality parameters achieved standard values. Higher wort haze and longer saccharification time were its problematic parameters. Higher malt gushing potential was determined.Study evaluates malting barley quality in the Czech Republic from harvest 2010.
