Importance of Friability

Friability is the most important item on a malt COA as it provides valuable information about the modification and quality of the malt. It measures how easily the malt breaks down and can indicate factors such as protein content, moisture levels, and enzyme activity. Low friability may require adjustments in the brewing process, such as lower mash temperatures. Monitoring and understanding friability can help brewers ensure consistent quality and performance of their malt.
