A superior prediction of malt attenuation

D.E. Evans1, C. Li2, J.K. Eglinton3 1TIAR, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 54, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001, Australia; 2Dept of Agriculture Western Austraia, 3 Baron-Hay Court, Sth Perth, WA 6151, Australia; 3School of Agriculture and Wine, University of Adelaide, Glen Osmond, SA, 5064, Australia

SUMMARY
Data is presented to support the replacement of the diastatic power (DP) malt specification in favour of the measurement of the DP enzymes (DPE), alpha-amylase, limit dextrinase, beta-amylase, and beta-amylase thermostability. The use of the DPE via a multi-linear regression equation predicts ~90% of variation in malt attenuation compared to <50% of variation by DP alone. The measurement of the individual DPE would most likely have a number of advantages over DP or the time consuming AAL parameter for maltsters and their brewer customers. Firstly, the three DPE determinants of fermentability are independently assessed. This is important information as the ratios of alpha-amylase to limit dextrinase to beta-amylase vary between malt samples from the same variety. Knowledge of the levels of these enzymes would allow maltsters to potentially to blend their malt batches more precisely within or between varieties to balance the levels of DPE to better satisfy brewers fermentability expectations. At very least brewers could be fore warned when a delivery of malt was being made that differed from the specifications desired, thus take steps in the brew house to accommodate such changes. The application of these insights in the brewing industry is predicted to result in substantial improvements in brewing consistency and enable more specific quality targets for barley breeders to be defined.
