Prediction of the extract content and predetermination of the processability and value of a lot of barley for brewing purposes
The behavior of barley during the malting process, which is intended for large-scale malt production, must be known.
MEBAK approved and adopted a micromalting procedure on 6 April 1971 as a standard method for predicting the extract content and for determining the suitability of barley varieties for malting. In 2003, MEBAK shortened the procedure by one day for a total of six days for vegetative growth (steeping and germination), the same length of time as the EBC procedure.
This method describes how to perform the iodine test and measure the saccharification time in the Congress mash method.
Malt intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
The iodine test is performed to determine the time required for saccharification during mashing. It is to be evaluated based on the type of malt used for mashing.
This method describes how to determine the time required for filtration of laboratory mashes.
Malt intended for use in beer brewing or elsewhere in the food industry
The time from the beginning to the end of filtration is determined when producing a laboratory mash.
