SUMMARY
To determine the mass fractions of sugars in malt for brewing, one must refer to the product data sheet or request information directly from the manufacturer. The sugar content, particularly maltose, varies based on the barley grade and the timing of the germination process. There is no universal answer; precise measurement is essential for accurate results.
