Barley is a
crop of ancient origin in Ethiopia which is an important food source and
industrial crop for beer production. Sixteen malt Barely varieties (four
released varieties which were in production such as Holker, Traveller,
EH1847 and IBON174/03 and twelve promising Cultivars) during the year
2014-2015 main seasons the experiment were conducted and analyzed for
their grain, malt and wort quality parameters. The Grain quality
parameters for sixteen Cultivars such as sieve size, germination energy,
moisture content, Hectoliter weight ,thousand kernel weight and protein
content and malting and wort quality parameters for sixteen Cultivars
,Hot water extract, soluble protein content, friability, diastatic
power, free amino nitrogen, zinc content were analyzed. Cultivars MB1,
MB3, MB5, MB7, MB9, and MB4 were better result in grain and malt quality
trait compared to the standard check over the three locations Bekoji,
Holeta and Ankober. Among the three locations Kulumsa (Bekoji) was
suitable for quality malt barley production as the grain and malt
quality traits are in the acceptable range followed by Dbrebrhan (Ankober).
However, most of the Cultivars fulfilled the quality requirements and
within the acceptable range of the European Brewery Convention (EBC) and
Asela Malt factory standard (Ethiopia). How to cite this article: Kefale B, Zewdu A, Lakew B (2016). Assessment of Malt Quality Attributes of Barley Genotypes grown in Bekoji, Holeta and Ankober, Ethiopia. Acad. Res. J. Agri. Sci. Res. 4(6): 255-263
