2 Row Barely Types

AB1965

Hey all,

Need some help with types of 2 row malted barley:

Baudin
Buloke
Commander
Fitzroy
Flagship
Gairdner
GrangeR
Schooner
Scope
Westminster
Wimmera

Has anyone heard of these (grown in Aus) varieties? What is the common type?

Are you looking for unique grains to use yourself? I'm not in Aus, but found it most fruitful to start with the maltsters to understand what is available in what quantities. Unless you are looking to malt yourself.

Quick google search came up with this link, you probably already found it but I'll post anyway since I thought it was a nice document:

Gardiner is one that i recognise as being pretty common around here. That's the only one of those i have heard of, not that i have heard a lot. Best thing to do is ring a local seed grader. They know their stuff. Even if the maltsters won't or can't tell you, the graders know the score.

My local grader is Wallamore Seed and Grain, ask for Simon if you call them.
