Barley genotype plays a significant role in its characteristics.[1]

Common grains used in brewing:

Storage

Malt moisture level is not stable in storage and the malt will invariable take on moisture from the environment. This moisture leads to a wide range of deterioration products.[2] Therefore malts and adjuncts must stored is a dry environment and/or a sealed container so that they do not become overly moist. Furthermore they must be protected from birds, rats, mice and insects. It is also good practice to use old stocks first and never to mix old and new stocks.[3]
