A method requiring a minimum labour input is described for measuring hot water extracts of the relatively large numbers of small samples of malt that can be generated in automated micro-malting equipment. Using malts obtained from 5 g samples of grain of 11 barley cultivars, this method gave essentially the same quality ranking, with almost the same precision, as a more conventional procedure using 10 g of malt from 15 g samples of grain.
