1966 DDR malt specifications

Here we are with some more malt specifications. With lots od different number, most of which, to be honest, I don't understand.

The specs aren't identical to those of 1953. For example, the extract of wheat malt has increased from 79% to over 80%. Kara-Pils has also increased while Kara-Münch has declined.

Saccharification times have also changed. Munich malt has been reduced from 20 to 30 minutes.

Diastatic power is only required for Pilsner, Munich and Melanoidin malt. Most of the darker darker malts have no requirement to have any diastatic power.
