Modification Analysis

This trial was conducted on seed from the 2017 Bozeman crop year using Dryland seed. Samples were malted with the MSU standard malting regime, altered only by malting samples at varying days of germination to demonstrate over and under modification in our system.

MSU Malting Regime:

Steep: 10hrs immersion, 18hrs rest, 6hrs immersion, 10hrs rest, 4hrs immersion} all at 15C

Germination: 96hrs @15C (Normally 96 hrs - data here represents 24, 72, 120, and 168 hrs)

Kiln: 6hrs @ 45C, 6hrs @ 55C, 3hrs @ 60C, 3hrs @ 68C, 3hrs @80C, 3hrs @85C

*Samples malted and tested at the Montana State University Malt Quality Lab
