Abstract

Eight sorghum cultivars were malted and samples were taken after steeping and after each of 5 days germination. In genotypes with low levels of grain nitrogen, up to 35% of the nitrogen solubilisation during the malting process occurred in the steeping phase. After 5 days germination, extracts ranged from very low to moderate levels and correlated highly with diastase and half-grain mash results. In addition, genotypes producing higher extracts showed greater reductions in milling energy between 2 and 5 days germination. During malting, there was considerable genotype X day interaction for several quality characters, suggesting variation in rates of development as well as final quantities
