Pearl Barley is used for that ,difference being the husk and bran have been removed making it less nutritional or so they say but easier cooked.

I Peter beg to differ with regards malting barley ,there is such a thing as the brewers lay down the criteria for the grain bought buy them ,ie a good quality seed to be used ,a pure supply of the grain provided , no more than 5% broken grain ,moisture content of 13.5% if possible if it is to high the farmer is penalised ,high sugar count ,and a strain of barley that has a good germination score, and also farmers have decide at the start of the growing season if they are going to join the co/op and contract themselves and their crop to the brewery if they do the price of their crop is agreed by them and brewery ,so feed barley and malting barley are 2 different things.So if you wish to feed barley go to a farmer that grows barley for the breweries

Happy birthday

Malting barley and feed barley are sorted out by moisture content if its 13.5% its spot on for the brewers ,rarely this figure is reached more like 16/17% and sometimes requires artificial heat to achieve this.
