One might argue that stability was the only concern but I think it is more than that as evidenced by the use of the finest hops available in the Truman export beer and the desire to keep close track of the malting process.<br /><br />2) Does anyone know what the barley variety was in this famous (at the time) California malt? 2-row, 6-row? I've read that a choice variety of 6-row, equating to 2-row in quality, was grown in CA then, perhaps it was that one? Incidentally today barley cultivation is minimal in CA today. As for hops cultivation, the crops went elsewhere in later years..<br /><br />Gary<br />Gary Gillmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-51651181256120234212013-05-31T04:55:50.413-07:002013-05-31T04:55:50.413-07:00Interesting stuff, the JIB archive is great isn...Interesting stuff, the JIB archive is great isn't it?<br /><br />A quick look at a text book give me final kilning temperatures of lager and ale malt as 176 and 212 degrees F receptively, so they're definitely at the lager malt end.
