SHOWHIDE Full details, logistics & FAQ
Malting barley is a premium grain grade selected for high germination energy, controlled protein and low nitrogen content — the parameters that determine extract yield and fermentation performance in brewing and distilling. Demetra Trading sources malting barley from established Black Sea and Baltic growing regions where crop management and post-harvest handling meet malt house requirements.
Malting barley specifications for brewers and malt houses
Two-row spring barley is the preferred malting type for most export destinations, prized for uniform kernel size, high starch-to-protein ratio and consistent diastatic power. Russian malting barley origins typically deliver germination energy above 95%, protein in the 10–12% band, moisture below 13.5% and the absence of sprouted or heat-damaged kernels that would otherwise lower extract yield.
For breweries and distilleries, the contract should fix germination, protein ceiling, nitrogen limits and screening (kernel size above 2.5 mm). Diastatic power and Kolbach index can be confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis against your malt house targets. Demetra Trading aligns origin and crop year to your specification so the cargo performs predictably through steeping, germination and kilning.
Quality control and documentation
Each malting barley cargo is documented with a Certificate of Analysis covering germination energy, protein, moisture, foreign matter and screening profile, together with a phytosanitary certificate for the destination market. Independent survey at loading — by SGS, Bureau Veritas or an equivalent surveyor — is available on request to fix quality at the load port before the bill of lading is issued.
Loading ports and parcel sizes
Shipments are structured on FOB Black Sea (Novorossiysk, Taman, Azov, Rostov-on-Don) or FOB Baltic (Ust-Luga, St. Petersburg) terms for buyers arranging their own freight. CIF delivery to destination ports and DAF to land borders are available under Incoterms 2020. Typical parcel sizes range from 3,000 MT trial stems through 10,000–25,000 MT Handysize to full Panamax programs of 50,000–60,000 MT. Contact our desk with your malt house specification and target shipment window.
FAQ
What quality parameters define malting barley?
Malting barley requires germination energy ≥95%, protein 10–12%, moisture ≤13.5% and absence of heat-damaged or sprouted kernels. Specific malt house parameters can be written into the contract.
Can you supply malting barley to specific malt house specifications?
Yes. Share your target germination, protein ceiling and nitrogen limits and we will align origin and crop year to match your malt house requirements.
What delivery terms are available for malting barley?
FOB Black Sea and Baltic ports, CIF to destination and DAF to land borders. Incoterms 2020 apply. Parcel sizes from 3,000 MT trial stems to Panamax programs.
Is a phytosanitary certificate included?
Yes. A phytosanitary certificate is issued for every malting barley shipment. Independent survey at loading is available on request.
