The increasing difficulty with classic spring barley - sufficient yield with good protein values for appropriate brewing results - could be countered with alternative approaches. Cultivation of a summer crop in autumn - precise experiments at the arable farming site of the Bio-Institut Lambach will provide answers here. Not only the agronomic parameters are examined, the malting for brewing suitability is also the subject of the experimental questions.
Summer brewing barley grown in late autumn survived the winter well!
