Pilot Brewing Australia (PBA) is a function of Barley Australia and is the body responsible for the pilot brewing of pilot and commercially malted barley lines submitted for evaluation.
PBA undertakes a small scale batch brew of the malted evaluation trial. Although the evaluation quantity brewed is small, the malt has come from pilot and commercial batches that replicate commercial conditions. The Pilot Brewery plant, located in Melbourne, has the ability to mimic many different styles of brewing and hence the plant can replicate brewing conditions for both sugar and starch adjunct brewing, appropriate for many of Australia’s target malt and barley markets, both here and overseas.
