NEWSLETTER NO. 45 High quality barley after perfect growing conditions The summer of 2012 saw much better harvesting conditions for the barley malt than for crop 2011, recently causing problematic run-off issues at some breweries in North Europe. Some may have experienced a rainy season but the rain fell at the right time so that barley malt has had a fair amount of rain. As a result the optimal amount of protein was developed. The barley has been healthy, no fungus, as a consequence by far the largest portion is released to barley malt and very little to the feed.
