Study evaluates quality of malting barley from harvest 2012 in the Czech Republic. The results from barley analyses showed favorable values of germination capacity, average starch content and above average protein content. Higher protein content was a reason of a lower extract content of the produced malts. To achieve optimal modification in samples with a higher protein content, a higher degree of steeping had to be applied. Based on the obtained results we can state that the year 2012 in terms of malt quality was an average year.Study evaluates quality of malting barley from harvest 2012 in the Czech Republic.
