| Before a new barley variety can be accepted for the production of malt for Carlsberg,
it needs to be generally accepted by farmers for cultivation. The harvested crop must meet
the barley specifications, give a malt quality within the actual specifications, and be
trouble free in the brewhouse- and fermentation-processes and give a beer quality with
good taste and taste stability. Varieties are tested in micro-, pilot- and production
scale malting and go through production brewing trials. The preliminary acceptance is
dependent on all the test results. Full acceptance is reached when 1000 ton malt has been
used in brewing with a high quality commercial brewing performance. Below is a list of European spring and winter barley varieties, which are the basis for malt used in Carlsberg products. Varieties are accepted locally by the breweries. The varieties which have been through a full test in Copenhagen are marked in red. |
