About the Webinar

​This webinar presents a systematic overview of the typical malt quality traits and the significance of numbers in brewing processes and beer quality. This presentation uses real life malt analysis data to illustrate the scientific association of barley, malting processes, malt, and beer. Key input factors from malt to brewhouse efficiency, fermentation, beer flavor stability, and colloidal stability are discussed. Practical recommendations on where to focus in malt analysis and evaluation are provided based on the needs and capabilities of the breweries.
