After three years of testing, the spring barley varieties Amidala, Ellinor and LG Belcanto were registered in the Slovak Republic. Extract of the varieties was between 82.3 and 82.8 %. The varieties showed optimal to high levels of proteolytic modification (Kolbach index 48.6 to 49.4 %) and satisfactory to optimal malt quality (final attenuation 80.9 to 81.5 %). Cell wall degradation was optimal (high friability 87 to 92 %). The beta-glucan content of the wort was satisfactory to optimal (174 to 68 mg/l).
