The bio
chemical composition of barley is highly affected the beer quality and
the economic efficiency of the brewing process. A large number of
parameters had been important to define malting quality. In the study
Twelve (12) Samples were collected from barley breeding research center
at Holeta which were verified and released malt barley varieties.
Varieties were Holker, Bekoji-1, EH-1847, Bahati, Sabini, Grace,
Travller, Beka, Ibon 174/03, Miscal -21, HB-1533 and HB-1307 were used
for the study ,Grain and malt quality parameters were evaluated
according to the European brewery convention methods and the value were
in the range grain size (88.5-97.5), germination energy(96-98.5), malt
moisture content(3.6-6.7),protein content (10.1-13.5), soluble protein
(3.9-7.7), kolbach index (35.5-48.8), thousand kernel weight (34-42.8),
extract (73.8-80.9), color of wort (3.7-7), PH of wort (5.5-6.1) and
friability (31.6-90.2).From all the varieties Holker, Travller, Sabini,
Bekoji-1, Grace, Bahati and Beka were acceptable grain and malt quality
traits according to the brewing specification. How to cite this article: Kefale B, Abushu Y (2017). Malt Quality Profile of Malt Barley Varieties Grown in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. Acad. Res. J. Agri. Sci. Res. 5(2): 128-133
