Here we share the Australian Malting Barley Harvest report 2020-21 from our supply partners at Malteurop Australia. The good news is we have a very good harvest due to great conditions thoughout the Australian spring and summer – plenty of moisture and few extremely hot days. Nationally malting barley yield is up 29% and 10% in Victoria. Protein levels are within the 10-11.5% range and screenings are excellent with 90% above 2.5mm and less than 2% below 2.2mm screen sizes. Spartacus and Planet remain the dominant barley varieties currently being grown in Australia with Compass, La Trobe and Westminster falling in behind the big two varieties.
