Barley
Concerto
Newly recommended for brewing and distilling, Concerto should have universal appeal. It is a non- GN producer, so will be in demand in Scotland for whiskey production. At 105%, Concerto has a 2% yield advantage over Tipple. Openfield will be contracting 2010 harvest crops for large scale malting evaluation.
Breeder: Nickerson Advanta
Quench
The highest yielding spring barley and fully approved for malt for brewing. Late to mature similar to Optic but with much improved straw characteristics. Very good rhynchosporium resistance and short stiff straw.
Breeder: Syngenta
NFC Tipple
The current mainstay of the UK brewing industry and fully accepted for export. 3% behind Quench for yield but with earlier maturity. Weak on rhynchosporium.
Breeder: Syngenta
