===Unmalted Barley===
Unmalted barley can contain higher levels of manganese ions, which can lead to oxidation as the resulting beer ages. Not all unmalted grain has higher levels of manganese ions; one study found that unmalted spelt does not contain elevated levels of this metal ion <ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0023643820313372 Ionic composition of beer worts produced with selected unmalted grains.
