Abstract
After discussions with the Barley Advisory Committee and the Technical Committee of the Maltsters' Association, it was decided that the Analysis Committee will seek to include in Recommended Methods, additional analytical procedures, which will be helpful in predicting malt preformance in particular brewing circumstances. However, it was first necessary to find a reliable and reproducible mill suitable for measurement of Hot Water Extract, together with such additional methods. A rotating disc mill (Miag) has been evaluated and provides substantial advantages over Seck mills, so that it will be introduced as the standard mill from 1st January 1977 and will be the only permitted mill from 1st January 1978. Introduction of a new mill will cause a shift in the level of extract measured. However, in the longer term it is intended that measurement of the difference in extract from fine and coarse grists, both of which can be produced readily with the rotating disc mill, will supplant the present measurement of Hot Water Extract in Recommended Methods.
