Folks, after looking at both the malt analysis sheets, I would have to say that neither is a good malt for craft brewing. Both have too much modification - a Kolbach of 48 tells you the stuff has had the guts malted out of it. There wont be too much body or flavour left. The earlier batch has an OK protein level but the current batch is unbelievably low - 8 point something! I have never seen a malt that low. And the colour is way too high for a pale malt - and out of range for their own spec.
How a maltster could produce such varying results amazes me. Seems like nothing has changed at Kirin...
