The Malting Barley Committee held its Spring 2015 meeting to discuss the progress of new varieties within the testing system. The outcome was that Talisman and KWS Irina have been given Full Approval for brewing use, and Octavia, RGT PLanet and Sienna have been promoted to Provisional Approval 1 for brewing. Octavia, Olympus and Sienna have been promoted to Provisional 1 for malt distilling and Olympus is also being considered for grain distilling. Optic and Moonshine have been removed from the list for malt distilling use. Sanette has been removed from Provisional Approval 2 for brewing.
For regional and agronomic information on malting barley varieties the current HGCA Recommended List should be consulted (www.hgca.com/varieties).
