Concerto spring malting barley is fully approved by the Institute of Brewing & Distilling for brewing and malt distilling
Concerto is a very high yielding spring malting barley with a good all-round agronomic package and no significant weaknesses. Concerto has a high specific weight and produces a very low level of screenings.
Commercial experience suggests Concerto accumulates grain nitrogen at a low level - like Optic - and has particular malting characteristics which make it highly suitable for both brewing and distilling. Concerto is fully approved by the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) for brewing and distilling.
