[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6077094, member: 166"] I changed from all Propino to Planet and Laureate. Propino did me well for years but the other 2 yield 5% more which pays for a lot of hassle finding homes for it. Planet is the most popular variety of malting barley in Europe but the maltsters have only recently been forced to use it. Around here, the main market is export to Europe but Burton on Trent use it too. I don't know about the East Anglian maltsters. They don't like change and if they had their way, would never ever change any varieties. Propino is the most marketable variety for a good reason, but is becoming outclassed against the newer varieties for yield. I cant remember any particular issues other than it brackles as soon as it is fully ripe. It is also more sensitive to N fertiliser dose than Planet. I'd aim for Planet or Laureate if you can get the seed. [/QUOTE]
