foundation grist for all lagers. Excellent modification and favorable
protein and glucan levels. Excellent lautering properties. Provides
finished beer with substantial body and mouthfeel, as well as good foam
development and head retention. Very flexible grain with high extract
efficiency for reliable lager-making in any brew house, including pub
ale systems. Yields optimum results for any process from single-step to
multistep infusion, to decoction. Flavor: intense malt aromas.
Barke® is a variety with all-round advantages: In the malt and brew
houses, it excels because of its large kernel diameter, good kernel
homogeneity, good germination potential, superior diastatic power,
excellent extract yield, high apparent attenuation, moderate levels of
soluble nitrogen, and low beta-glucan values. In the finished beer,
Barke® contributes a good body, a rich and deep malt aroma, and a creamy
head with good foam stability.
