After the 2024 harvest, six barley varieties were registered in the Slovak Republic, including three spring barley varieties with malting quality. After two years of testing, the spring malting barley varieties Buzzer, LG Allegro, and LG Baryton were registered. The grain volume weight was above 65 kg/hl for all three varieties. The varieties showed excellent malting quality. They provided sweet wort with an extract content in dry malt matter ranging from 82.7–83.4%. The intensity of proteolytic modification was high to very high (Kolbach index 51.1–53.4%). Cytolytic modification was at an optimum level (friability 93–98%, β-glucan content in sweet wort 60–74 mg/l). The sweet wort had a satisfactory composition (apparent final attenuation of 80.9–81.3%). The varieties tested gave clear sweet wort.
