Barley intended for the production of malt is to be evaluated on the basis of the characteristics described below.
visual assessment
Whole hops intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
Evaluation of the appearance of hop cones is performed through visual and manual inspection.
This method describes the determination of color of (Congress) wort using color discs.
Malt intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
The determination of the color of the Congress wort is carried out under defined lighting conditions through a visual comparison of the wort color with the appropriate color discs. Please note that several individuals should perform the color measurement if possible.
The method describes how to determine the β-glucans in wort or Congress wort by means of a colorimetric method.
Applicable for all (laboratory) worts
The colorimetric method may be used for the determination of high molecular weight β-glucan in wort; it is based on the photometric evaluation of a β-glucan color complex. The soluble β-glucan from barley reacts with a buffered solution, forming a color complex within 30 minutes. The absorbance of the β-glucan color complex is measured at 550 nm.
