Milling energy values of both spring and winter cultivars of barley are shown to be highly influenced by moisture content of samples. Within the range 10 to 18% moisture, the relationship between milling energy and moisture content was linear. For spring barley, milling energy values could be adjusted to a common moisture content of 12% using a correction factor of 25 Joules for each percent moisture. Nitrogen content of malting samples correlated poorly, although still at a significant level, with milling energy and considerable variation in grain hardness could be observed at any nitrogen level considered suitable for malting.
