Pedigree	TC6W265/29494_2991 TC6W265 is a six-row faculative breeding line developed by OSU. 29494_2991 is an experimental winter two-row from the program of Mark Herx (Germany)
Synonyms/Experimental #s	DH130910
Release year	2020
Breeding Program	Oregon State University
Description	Winter two-row
Agronomic Characteristics:	Yield: Higher yeilding than Endeavor and Wintmalt. Plumps: Test weight and kernel plumpness are higher than checks. Appearance: Rough-awned, long rachilla hairs, white auricles, closed collars, pubescent leaf sheaves, and glaborous leaf blades. Disease Reaction: Excellent resistance to stripe rust and scald. Some tolerance to FHB in northeastern US. Resistant to peharvest sprouting.
Malting Characteristics	Lightning is in the AMBA Pilot testing propgram (2020 crop). Malting profiles equal to, or superior to, the endeavor ajd WEintmalt checks and aligns msot closely with the AMBA all-malt criteria. Lighting may show dormancy and/or water sensitivity - therefore, standard 4mL amd 8mL tests are recommended prior to initiating malting. Lighting will be more responsive in the malthouse if adjustments are made for water sensitivity.
Brewing Quality Traits	Will be available Fall, 2021
