AAC Synergy
The popularity of AAC Synergy on the prairies continued in 2022. 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 Bow
CDC Bow, registered in 2015, is a high-yielding variety of malting barley with excellent agronomic traits and disease resistance. Its yields are 9% higher than AC Metcalfe and 3% higher than CDC Copeland. CDC Bow has strong straw and good resistance to lodging and is resistant to covered smut and stem rust. It is characterized by high kernel weight and plumpness. CDC Bow offers high extract, moderate to high enzymes, high FAN levels, high fermentability and good overall brewhouse performance.
