1 CMBTC 2015 MALTING BARLEY CROP QUALITY ASSESSMENT Preliminary Report December 14, 2015

2 Preliminary Report CMBTC 2015 MALTING BARLEY CROP QUALITY ASSESSMENT Summary Barley production in Canada in 2015 is estimated by Statistics Canada at 7.6 million tonnes, up 7% from 7.1 million tonnes last year. The 2015 crop turned out better than expected considering the extreme dryness in spring and early summer, particularly in Alberta and western Saskatchewan. Good rains followed for the balance of summer over the Prairies allowing the crop to recover, although overall yields ended down slightly from Seeded area is estimated at 2.64 mln hectares (6.51 mln acres) compared with 2.38 mln hectares (5.88 mln acres) in 2014, an increase of 11% (Statistics Canada data). Estimated malting barley seeded area was also up 11.5% to 1.4 mln hectares compared to 1.2 mln hectares in 2014, accounting for 54% of barley seeded area versus 52% in 2014, according to data collected by the Canadian Grain Commission. The quality of 2015 malting barley crop was mixed with some barley suffering chitting and weather damage due to rains at harvest, and high grain protein likely due to drought stress in the early summer. These factors led to a smaller selectable pool of malting barley in Canada for compared with the historical average. As a result of the smaller crop and quality issues, the CMBTC received a modest number of barley samples from the 2015 crop for evaluation purposes. Varieties received included AC, CDC, AAC Synergy, CDC Kindersley, Newdale and Legacy. These barley samples were collected from different growing areas in western Canada provided by Viterra, Richardson International, Prairie Malt, Canada Malting, MaltEurop, Rahr Malting Canada, and Integrated Grain. With these 2015 new crop barley samples, the CMBTC conducted barley analysis, micro-malting tests as well as pilot malting and brewing trials. The objective of this work is to examine malting quality and brewing performance of these varieties in order to offer processing guidelines for end-users of 2015 Canadian malting barley crop. The test results generated in this study are summarized in this report. Please note only the test results for AC and CDC are included in this preliminary report. The results for AAC Synergy, CDC Kindersley, Newdale and Legacy will be included in the final report. Page2

3 Results: The 2015 crop barley samples of AC and CDC received by the CMBTC showed selectable quality for malting use, however there were significant quality variations between varieties and among these samples. AC s overall quality was comparable to the 2014 crop average but with higher grain protein content, lighter water sensitivity and considerably lower RVA values. CDC s overall quality was also comparable to the 2014 crop averages but with higher grain protein content, significantly higher germination energy and significantly lighter water sensitivity, as well as higher RVA values. In the malting trials, the 2015 crop samples of AC and CDC barley did not show any abnormalities in process; they exhibited good water-uptake and good chitting at steep and normal growth of acrospires during germination. All the malts produced from the malting trials showed good values in friability, extract yield, soluble protein, FAN levels and enzymes, as well as malt color. However, some significant variations in degree of modification were recorded between varieties and among the barley samples. The highlights in barley quality, malting performance and malt quality for 2015 crop AC and CDC in comparison with 2014 crop barley are summarized in the table below. Barley Quality Malting Performance 2015 AC compared with 2014 crop Similar grain moisture and higher protein content Slower water-uptake and less advanced growth of acrospires Slightly lower germination energy with lighter water sensitivity Lower friability and slightly lower extract yield Similar thousand kernel weight and Higher levels of enzymes comparable plumpness Comparable soluble protein and slightly Significantly lower RVA values suggesting lower FAN poor storability Higher malt beta-glucan 2015 CDC compared with 2014 crop Lower grain moisture and higher protein content Slower water-uptake and less advanced growth of acrospires Higher germination energy with lighter water sensitivity Significantly lower friability and lower extract yield Slightly lower thousand kernel weight and Higher levels of enzymes plumpness Higher soluble protein but comparable Significantly higher RVA values suggesting FAN better storability Lower higher malt beta-glucan Page3

4 Malting trial results suggested that 2015 crop AC and CDC barley can be processed under normal processing conditions designed for Canadian two-row malting barley. However, processing conditions that are known to effect malt beta-glucan should be closely monitored when the new crop barley is processed. In the brewing trials the malts produced from 2015 crop barley samples of AC and CDC all performed satisfactorily without showing processing difficulties. Beers produced from these 2015 crop barley samples all showed satisfactory overall quality, although some quality variations between barley varieties and samples were recorded. The highlights in performance and beer quality are listed in the table below: Brewing Performance 2015 AC compared with 2014 crop: Shorter conversion time Similar time to clear in lautering Higher malt material yield Lower wort colour Lower fermentability Higher foam stability Higher beer colour High final alcohol Comparable sensory score 2015 CDC compared with 2014 crop: Shorter conversion time Shorter time to clear in lautering Higher malt material yield Higher wort colour Lower fermentability Higher foam stability Higher beer colour Lower final alcohol Comparable sensory score Pilot brewing results suggested that 2015 crop AC and CDC can be brewed under normal processing conditions for Canadian two-row malting barley.

5 Introduction Samples of the 2015 Canadian malting barley crop AC, CDC, AAC Synergy, CDC Kindersley, Newdale and Legacy included in this study were provided to the CMBTC by Viterra, Richardson International, Prairie Malt, Canada Malting, MaltEurop, Rahr Malting Canada, and Integrated Grain. These barley samples were collected from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. To some extent, these barley samples reflect the quality of selectable malting barley of 2015 crop which are available to the customers of Canadian malting barley. Please note that CMBTC was not involved in collecting these barley samples. Please note only the test results for AC and CDC are included in this preliminary report. The results for AAC Synergy, CDC Kindersley, Newdale and Legacy will be included in the final report. Barley Quality Analysis When the newly harvested barley samples of AC and CDC arrived at the CMBTC, their quality was examined prior to the malting trials, and the test results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2 respectively. Please note the testing results reported in Tables 1 and 2 were generated from a single test except for germination. AC barley samples from 2015 harvest showed varied appearance from bright to noticeable staining. On average, AC samples showed acceptable grain moisture content and good protein content, very good thousand kernel weight and plumpness crop AC showed acceptable germination energy but with significant water sensitivity (Table 1). However, RVA values for these samples were significantly lower than desired. Please note that among the nine AC barley samples from the 2015 harvest, only two samples reported RVA values higher than 100. Low RVA values for the 2015 crop AC suggested that these samples have suffered from pre-harvest sprouting. Some decrease in germination during a long-term storage could be expected from barley with low RVA values. Table 1.

6 In comparison with the 2014 crop AC, on average, 2015 crop AC barley samples showed similar grain moisture, higher protein content, slightly lower germination energy and lighter water sensitivity. The thousand-kernel weight for 2015 crop AC was slightly similar to the 2014 crop; the plumpness was also comparable to the 2014 crop. However RVA values for 2015 crop AC were significantly lower than 2014 crop AC. As observed with AC barley, CDC barley samples from 2015 harvest also indicated noticeable signs of staining. These CDC barley samples showed acceptable grain moisture content, desirable protein content, very good thousand kernel weight and plumpness. CDC barley showed good germination energy but with significant water sensitivity (Table 2). Among the seven 2015 crop CDC barley samples received at CMBTC only one sample showed very good RVA values (>150), the remaining samples showed low to very low RVA values suggesting poor storability can be expected from 2015 crop CDC barley.

Thousand kernel weight for 2015 CDC was slightly higher than the 2014 crop while the plumpness was lower. RVA values for 2015 CDC were significantly higher than the 2014 crop suggesting slightly better storability than 2014 CDC.

7 1. Pilot Malting Trials Pilot malting trials were conducted with these 2015 crop barley samples of AC and CDC. Depending on the quantity of the barley samples received at CMBTC, one or multiple pilot malting trials on each of these two varieties were conducted using CMBTC s pilot malting systems with a batch size of 50-60kg of cleaned barley. The processing conditions used in the malting trials are given in Box 1. Box 1.

8 AC In the malting trials, 2015 crop AC barley samples did not show any processing difficulties. At the end of steep the barley samples obtained satisfactory steep-out moisture content and achieved a very good chitting rate (Table 5). During germination, AC barley samples showed normal growth of acrospires and good modification progress. In comparison with the 2014 crop samples, on average, 2015 crop AC barley samples showed water uptake slightly slower than the 2014 crop and obtained a higher chitting rate at the end of steep. During germination these 2015 AC samples showed good growth of acrospires, which were less advanced than 2014 crop AC. Table 5.

The values for friability, F/C difference, soluble protein and beta-glucan content all suggested that the 2015 crop AC barley samples included in the trials produced malts with acceptable modification, however, significant variations in malt friability and beta-glucan content between the trials were recorded. Extract yield and enzyme levels: In comparison with the trial averages of 2014 and 2013 crop AC samples, on average, the malts produced from 2015 crop AC samples exhibited extract yield slightly lower than the 2014 crop samples but significantly lower than the 2013 crop samples. The 2015 crop malts developed higher levels of enzymes; the diastatic power was slightly higher than both the 2014 and 2013 crop samples, while the -amylase was significantly higher than the 2014 and 2013 crop samples. Soluble protein, free amino nitrogen (FAN) and malt colour: The malts produced from 2015 crop AC samples exhibited good protein solubilisation; on average, their soluble protein was comparable to 2014 and 2013 crop AC samples but showing significantly lower Kolbach Index. The malts also developed adequate levels of FAN, which were also comparable to the 2014 crop samples but lower than 2013 crop samples. Malt colour for 2015 crop AC barley was good, which was comparable to 2014 crop samples but slightly lower than the 2013 crop samples. Page9

10 Comments on the malting process: No difficulties during the malting process were recorded for 2015 crop AC barley samples. They were processed under the normal processing conditions used at CMBTC for quality evaluation of Canadian two-row malting barley. At steep, steep-out moisture of 44-45% and over 85% chitting rate are the targets. The steeping cycle should consist of 2 or 3 wet periods at C. In germination, avoid a high temperature and excessive watering to control the growth of acrospires and protein breakdown. In kilning a lower curing temperature (80-82 C) should be considered to avoid excessive malt color formation. CDC In the malting trials, 2015 crop CDC barley samples did not show any processing difficulties. CDC barley samples obtained satisfactory steep-out moisture content and excellent chitting rate (Table 7) at the end of steep. During germination, barley showed good growth of acrospires. In comparison with the 2014 crop CDC samples, 2015 crop CDC barley displayed slower water uptake and lower chitting rate at the end of steep. During germination, 2015 crop CDC barley samples showed growth of acrospires comparable to 2014 crop CDC. Table 7.

12 Malting Summary General modification: The values for friability, F/C difference and soluble protein suggested that these 2015 crop CDC barley samples produced malts with good modification, however, high beta-glucan content indicated that some further modification was needed. Extract yield and enzyme levels: The malts produced from 2015 crop CDC barley samples exhibited good extract yield, however, on average, the extract yield was significantly lower than the 2014 and 2013 crop samples crop CDC malts developed good levels of enzymes. On average, the diastatic power levels and -amylase levels were significantly higher than that in 2014 and 2013 crop samples. Soluble protein, free amino nitrogen (FAN) and malt colour: The malts produced from 2015 crop CDC samples exhibited good protein modification, on average, their soluble protein was slightly higher than the 2014 and 2013 crop samples, while their Kolbach Index were lower. This was due to higher barley protein for 2015 crop. Malt colour for 2015 crop CDC barley was good, on average, the colour was comparable to 2014 crop samples but slightly higher than the 2013 crop samples. Comments on the malting process: During the malting process, no difficulties were recorded for 2015 crop CDC barley samples crop CDC barley can be processed under the normal processing conditions for Canadian two-row malting barley. However, special attention should be given to processing conditions that affect malt betaglucan content. Steep-out moisture of 44-45% and over 85% chitting rate is the target. The steeping cycle should consist of 2 or 3 wet periods at C. In germination, avoid high temperature and excessive watering to control acrospires growth and protein breakdown. In kilning the curing temperature can be similar to those used for AC (80-82 C). Page12

Brewhouse material efficiency: Brewhouse material efficiency is a metric to determine the ease of obtaining the extract from the mash. Conversion time: Conversion time is a metric that is important for the brewer in regards to the economics of his brewhouse. Longer conversion times could translate into higher operating costs in more energy requirement, higher labour costs or decreased capacity. Conversion time is related to the enzyme content of the malt, and can be manipulated by changing malt: water ratio and temperature. Attenuation limit: A measure of the fermentability or amount of beer that can be produced from the original malt. Typically, a higher value is desired. Runoff time: Time to complete the runoff is a metric that is important for the brewer in regards to the economics of his brewhouse. Longer times could translate into higher operating costs in more energy requirement, higher labour costs or decreased capacity. Runoff time is related to the beta-glucan content of the malt as well as the friability and milling of the malt. Time to clear: Time required for the wort to clear is a metric that is important for the brewer in regards to the economics of his brewhouse as well as the quality of the finished beer. Most brewers want clear wort, it provides better quality beer and also allows for better capacity utilization in fermentation. The time to obtain wort that is clear (less than 100 FTU) is therefore related to capacity and manpower utilization. Wort color: Most international brewers are looking for a lower pale colour to be derived from the malt, so the lower the better. Wort ph: Wort ph is related to beer flavour stability, the higher the ph the more flavour stable the beer is through time. However, the ph cannot be too high or else the possibility of flavour changes and microbiological infection can occur. Page20
