    Questions on Barley, Malting and Malt in the Beer Brewing Process - Edward H. Vogel

    BARLEY, MALTING AND MALT

    What Does Barley Mean to the Brewer?

    Barley is the principal grain used in producing malt, the basic material for brewing beer.

    Why Is Barley the Preferred Grain As the Basic Material for Brewing?

    Barley is one of the hardiest of the cereal grains. It can be more easily malted for brewing purposes than any other cereal, and the solubles extracted from barley malt are of a more desirable character and more complete than those extracted from other grains. The use of barley malt produces smoother performance in the brew house, such as quick conversion and good straining. Barley malt has sufficient enzymatic systems for conversion of the materials within the malt and adjuncts used.

    STRUCTURE OF THE BARLEY KERNEL (Enlarged)

    1. Husks and Layers Surrounding the Endosperm.

    2. Endosperm:

    a. Inner Endosperm, which is the starch-bearing portion of the grain.

    b. Aleurone Layer, which is an enzyme source and contains colored pigments.

    3. Embryo or Germ—the viable portion of the grain:

    a. The young barley plant—roots and shoots.

    b. The scutellum with epithelium layer.
