Colloidal haze in beer is due to the precipitation of proteins by proanthocyanidins. Carlsberg Research Center reported in 1977 that the use of barley mutants which block the biosynthesis of catechins and proanthocyanidins in the grain prevents the formation of haze in beer. The results from ten years of malting and brewing research with proanthocyanidin-free barley and malt are reviewed.
