Prior to storage, the moisture content of barley must be determined.
The sample is heated directly on the weighing pan in the drying chamber using microwaves. The water evaporates and is removed by a compressor. In order to avoid disturbing the weighing process as little as possible, the sample is protected from the flow of gas by a porous cover. The change in weight is measured directly; after a constant weight is reached, it is evaluated.
With microwave-vacuum drying, the vaporization temperature is lowered, resulting in a more gentle drying process. Additionally, the samples are under constant rotation to prevent degradation and burning of the sample.
This method describes how to classify barley according to size, though this is performed without separating out the half kernels.
Barley malt intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry.
The sieving test represents one of the most important objective physical methods for evaluating malt and can be carried out rapidly and easily. The percentages of total dockage (< 2.2 mm) and that of the kernels belonging to grades I and II can be determined from the results of the sieving test.
This method describes how to determine the tendency of a sample to exhibit gushing.
Malted and unmalted grain intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
A sample is collected of the cereal to be tested and a hot water extraction is carried out. After cold break separation, the sample is carbonated and bottled. After shaking and then opening the bottle, the volume of liquid that fobs over and out of the bottle is measured. This value is used to determine the gushing potential for the malt or adjunct.
This method describes the conditions under which sensory analysis should be carried out.
beer, beer-based beverages, non-alcoholic beverages, mineral water
One of the basic prerequisites for properly conducting sensory analysis is the availability of suitable persons to serve as members of a tasting panel.
