In 2015, following spring barley malting varieties were registered in the Czech Republic: Gesine, Kampa, KWS Amadora, Prunella, and Sanette and a winter barley variety KWS Ariane. The varieties KWS Amadora (81.6%) and Sanette (83.2%) had the highest malt extract. Except for the variety Kampa, all studied varieties showed an average to optimum level of proteolytic modification. The values of diastatic power moved from 271 to 420 WK un. Except for the variety Kampa, final attenuation moved from 81.8 to 83.1 % in all varieties. Degradation of cell walls was optimum in all studied varieties (81 to 97%). Increased β-glucan content was found only in...

The spring barley malting varieties Exalis, Montoya, Odyssey, Olympic, and Overture were registered after three-year tests (2012- 2014). The highest extract content was found in the varieties Overture, Odyssey, and Olympic (83.9 %, 83.1 %, and 83.1 %, respectively). 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 variety Overture (82.7%). The level of cell wall destruction given by friability was optimal in all the studied varieties (87-93 %). Beta-glucan content in sweet wort varied in the range of 115-186 mg/l. The varieties...

The history of the barley use as a raw material for malt and beer production in middle ages and early modern era was still in the environment of the czech lands constructed solely on the basis of archival records and historical pictures. Less importance was given to archaeological fi nds. Unjustly neglected remained fi nds of botanical macro remains of barley and barley malt from younger historical epochs, although in the Central European context it is in terms of quantity and quality of the fi ndings a unique fi le. The aim of this article is therefore historical and archaeological context to highlight the benefi ts of archaeo botany for understanding...
