| Abstract: | Malting of hulless barley cultivar, Scout, and Utility wheat, Glenlea, was compared with the hulled barley, Harrington. Hulless barley showed faster steeping rate than either Harrington or wheat cultivars. Gibberellic acid, applied by steeping in 1 ppm solution, and germination for 2-8 days significantly increased cr-amylase activity of Scout and Glenlea cultivars and their extract yields were 46% higher than Harrington malts. The 2-day Scout malts produced highly viscous extracts. Desirable viscosity (5500 cPs) was obtained from 5-day malts. |
