Background
This project is rigorously testing the hypothesis that barley has positive beer flavor attributes. Novel flavors in barley that carry through malting and brewing and into beer, provide new opportunities for brewers and expanded horizons for consumers. The first set of germplasm that we tested traced to the World Core. Subsequently, we fast-forwarded to heirlooms and modern heirlooms.
