Barley malt

Listing ID #4882059

The Company has a dedicated team of qualified grain buyers having decades of experience in purchasing thousands of tonnes of quality barley. Each of our malting sites has its own particular requirements; however, they all specify that barley for malting must achieve at least 95% germination.
Generally, barley is classified into six-row and two-row barley. The six-row barley has higher enzyme content, more protein, less starch, and a thicker husk than two-row barley. The higher level of diastatic enzymes makes six-row barley desirable for conversion of adjunct starches (those that lack enzymes) during mashing. The two-row barley has lower protein content which reduces the problems with haze in the finished .
On the down side, the higher protein content can result in greater break material (hot and cold), as well as possibly increased problems with haze in the finished .
