The conventional EEC mashing procedure is not applicable
to sorghum malt. Previously reported data based on this technique
should be interpreted with caution. New analytical methods are
needed to accurately assess sorghum's malting and brewing potential.
The performance of the malt during the brewing process
depends heavily on the cultivar used and where it is grown. The
use of an appropriate cultivar makes it feasible to produce, with
minor modifications to the brewing apparatus, a lager beer with
characteristics very similar to a typical African lager (50% barley
malt, 50% adjunct)
