QUENCH
QUENCH is the shorter strawed barley of the three available. It is a very high yielding, treated and untreated, malting variety approved by the IBD for brewing.
It has good resistance to Mildew and Rhynchosporium but suscetable to yellow rust and brown rust. Good resistance to brackling.
WESTMINSTER
WESTMINSTER is a very high yielding spring malting barley with long, stiff straw. It has excellent all round disease resistance combined with very high specific weight.
Accepted by some end users as a malting barley. However the combination of relatively long straw and good disease resistance characteristics mean WESTMINSTER is an excellent choice as a feed wheat also.
