OVERALL COMMENTS
Canadian two-row malting barleys have long been recognized for quality all over the world. They are recognized for having low dormancy and good
germination vigour. They malt readily and have a high enzyme potential. They are easy to handle and to produce consistent predictable malting and brewing
performance. Kernel size is uniform, with thin hulls, facilitating rapid and even hydration of the starchy endosperm during steeping. This in turn leads to
homogeneous modification and absence of beta-glucan problems. Adequate levels of alpha-amino nitrogen are produced, supporting good yeast fermentation.
They possess high diastatic power for efficient conversion of high levels of adjuncts in the brewhouse. High extract yields are produced provided recommended
malthouse procedures are followed. Please note that some of the newer two-row varieties offer significantly higher extract yields, and some offer special quality
attribute such as CDC PolarStar having low LOX activity.
