MultiMalter data generation and validation

This project seeks to demonstrate the consistency, repeatability, relativity and robustness of the MultiMalter malting performance data, as well as continue a range of testing for MultiMalter data in barley breeding programs and initial developments of data sets for sustainable malt barley.

This project is a continuation of our MultiMalter pilot project, which was supported by GRDC.

Completed (July-September 2025)

• We tested new barley samples for optimal malting performance including new barley varieties and accredited varieties from different seasons.
• Results were entered in our malt quality database.

Scheduled (October-December 2025)

• We will develop an initial report on trends identified using our malt quality database.
• We will continue to test new barley samples for optimal malting performance and enter results in our malt quality database.
• We will plan and develop further work to realise the MultiMalter’s commercial and technical potential in adding value to the Australian malting barley supply chain.
