  7. Barley Quality • Barley Australia is the recognised accreditation body for malting barleys from Australia • The malting barley evaluation and accreditation process is as follows:

  8. Barley Quality • This is still the driving force for new varieties from Australia. • Buyers want clean, bright, white aleurone barleys • They want reliability and consistency • They do not want a constant stream of new barleys • They want to know it meets established quality and assessment standards.

  9. Market Requirements • An emphasis on improved malting quality • Varieties that will process without the use of Gibberillic acid • High extract • Low wort viscosity and beta-glucan • Low DMS • Low LOX • A sustainable domestic brewing (moderate AAL) type • Low-medium rainfall, high yielding varieties with competitive malting quality traits • Two high yielding varieties for Northern NSW and Southern Queensland • for domestic (moderate AAL) and export (high AAL) use • Rationalisation of the number of varieties nationally to ease pressure on storage and segregation requirements

  10. Barley Australia • Where does BA fit in? • Functions • Managing the malting evaluation process. • Representing the industry • Chemical use, snails in barley to Korea • Barley dryers in WA • Henley “blue aleurone” issue • Barley Varieties Handbook • Membership: • Joe White Maltings • Barrett Burston Malting, • MaltEurop • GrainCorp • CBH WA

  11. Future R&D Issues • Too many varieties? ! • Confusion in the market • Confusion for brewers • Confusion for the growers • Difficulties for the bulk handlers • Contrary position to the breeders

  12. Future R&D Issues The end for Gibberillic Acid (GA) • Not wanted by brewers • Needed by maltsters • R&D to solve the problem

  13. Future R&D Issues Competing grower/user needs Growers want agronomic advantages • Yield/ $ / encouragement to grow • Straw strength • Weed /disease resistance Maltsters want Less water uptake, shorter dormancy Brewers (the market) want Better extract, improve DP, better fermentability Consistency of product

  14. Future R&D Issues Breeders want • Clear market signals • EPR / $ • Market acceptance and uptake • All want better barleys • It’s a difficult job but……
