Differs from two-row barley in that it is:
- Arranged in six rows around the stalk
- Smaller in kernel size than two-row barley
- Higher in protein content
- Higher in husk content
Six-row grows more readily in North America than two-row. In a mash with a greater proportion of adjuncts, six-row is preferred because of the increased diastatic potential.
