UK: Spring barley Diablo given full approval for brewing use
Spring barley variety Diablo has been given full approval for brewing use by the Malting Barley Committee, the Farmers Weekly reported on October 30.
The variety already had full approval for malt distilling, resulting in being the top-yielding spring barley variety with full approval for both uses on the current AHDB Recommended List.
With this recent approval, Diablo now holds the title of being dual-use, demonstrating the robustness of its quality characteristics, as required by end users in both the brewing and malt distilling sectors, says Matt Shand, UK national sales manager for Limagrain UK.
Diablo has a yield of 105% of the control and, significantly, its yields are highest in the key malting barley growing areas of the East (106%) and North (107%).
