The study found the three malting grades, as graded by a single inspector, gave a significant indication of final malting quality. The top grade, Special Select, showed the best quality. However, inconsistent storage conditions and source of samples, especially the Special Select samples, reduced the significance of correlations between grade and malt quality. A repeat of the study with greater attention to consistent supply and storage of samples would further support conclusions on the value of the Canadian Grain Commission grades in predicting malt quality. Samples from a second crop year with a different dominant degrading factor would be beneficial.
