After the 2024 harvest, the following varieties of spring malting barley were registered in the Czech Republic: LG Vaclav, Matika, Starship, and SY Signet, along with the varieties of winter non-malting barley: Organa, KWS Antonis, and RGT Alessia. The LG Vaclav variety exhibited low levels of proteolytic and cytolytic modification and a low level of apparent final attenuation, thus meeting the conditions required for varieties recommended for the production of beer with the protected geographical indication 'České pivo'. The spring barley varieties Matika, Starship, and SY Signet demonstrated very good malting quality. They provided malt with a rich extract content. Proteolytic modification was optimal to higher for these varieties. The degradation of cell walls was at an optimal level for the mentioned varieties. The β-glucan content of malt wort was at a satisfactory to optimal level. The wort of these varieties was mostly clear.
