Determinations of degree of attenuation, viscosity, turbidity at filtration, and turbidity after 24 hr. were made on the worts from 144 malts representing 24 barley varieties grown in 1938 at each of six widely scattered points in Canada.Varietal and station differences are demonstrated in these wort qualities. O.A.C. 21, Mensury, and Olli, acceptable malting varieties, produce worts that are high in degree of attenuation, low in viscosity, and low in turbidity. Two other six-rowed varieties, Brandon 216 and Velvet, are similar to O.A.C. 21 in wort qualities. The remaining 14 six-rowed varieties are deficient in at least one wort quality. Among five two-rowed varieties, Hannchen being used as standard, Rex and Sanalta are similar to Hannchen in the three wort properties, and Charlottetown 80 and Victory are deficient in one or more.Intervarietal relations between the wort properties were examined, and the following observations are made: degree of attenuation and viscosity are inversely related; viscosity is directly related to both initial and final turbidity, and partial correlation coefficients suggest that the material causing final turbidity is mainly responsible for these relations; initial and final turbidity are closely and directly related. No intravarietal relations were examined owing to the small number of stations represented.
