In the first Craft Maltsters Guild's "Field to Bench" series for 2022 (the series features the people behind some of the world's leading malt research), FST's Glen Fox and Maany Ramanan (UC Brewing/Food Science doctoral candidate) talk about Fox's background studying barley quality, his current research focus on starch structure, and how it impacts wort and beer quality, as well as Maany's current research project - assessing the effect of environment and genotype on malt quality.
