Four barley cultivars and four malts from those cultivars were treated with 200 and 400 ppm of mineral or soybean oil. The treatment reduced fine grain dust. Oil treatment had a small effect on barley color. Diastatic power and alpha-amylase in malt from treated barley were lower than in the controls. The decrease was not significant at the 0.05 level. Treatment of malt had no significant effect on fine-minus-coarse extract difference, wort color, wort protein, diastatic power, or alpha-amylase.
