Abstract
With the revival of the small grains industry in the Northeast and the strength of the locavore movement, craft breweries and distilleries have expressed an interest in sourcing local barley for malting. To be suitable for malting, barley must meet specific quality characteristics such as low protein content, high starch and high germination. In the fall of 2022, a winter malting barley trial was conducted to evaluate yield and quality of 30 winter malting barley varieties.
