A large batch of malt was obtained for use as a check malt. The malt batch was tested for homogeneity and the results were judged to be acceptable to permit the use of the malt as a check malt. The malt was collaboratively tested using a wide range of analyses by a total of 39 laboratories representing the malting, brewing and distilling industries of Great Britain and Ireland. In order to test the stability of canned malt samples the last remaining cans of the 1984 check malt were collaboratively analysed by 12 laboratories. Comparison of these results with the original data revealed that most parameters were stable over the ten year lifespan of the malt.
