AAC Synergy
The popularity of AAC Synergy on the prairies continues to increase. AAC Synergy is a high-yielding variety that is characterized by relatively high kernel weight and plumpness, and relatively low grain protein content. AAC Synergy has shorter and stronger straw than AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland. It is resistant to spotted net blotch, netted net blotch and spot blotch. AAC Synergy has a desirable malting quality profile with high malt extract, good protein modification, low levels of wort β-glucans, and intermediate levels of starch-degrading enzymes. Overall, AAC Synergy’s excellent combination of agronomic traits and malting quality makes it a desirable two-rowed malting barley variety for western Canadian producers and the malting and brewing industry.

AAC Connect
AAC Connect, registered in 2016, was a popular choice this year. It has excellent agronomic traits and disease resistance: shorter and stronger straw than AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland, heavier and plumper kernels than AC Metcalfe and CDC Copeland, maturity similar to AC Metcalfe, resistance to spotted net blotch, surface-borne smuts and stem rust, and moderate resistance to fusarium head blight (FHB). This variety offers high extract, moderate to high enzymes and relatively low FAN levels, as well as good brewhouse performance and fermentability.

CDC Churchill
CDC Churchill is a recently registered variety (2019) with still very limited production on the prairies. It is a high yielding variety with low grain protein, low to moderate levels of malt enzymes, low wort β-glucans, and high extract potential.
