## Description

This MCP server connects AI agents to advanced malting models to predict key malt quality parameters. By providing raw barley data such as protein content and kernel size distribution, agents can use `predict_malt_properties` to estimate extract yield, diastatic power, and the Kolbach index. Additionally, the `evaluate_brewing_suitability` tool allows for assessing the overall brewing quality score and the probability of malt acceptance by commercial brewers. It serves as a critical bridge for quality control in the malting and brewing industry.

## Tools

### compare_varieties
Compares the predicted quality of a specific grain batch against the theoretical maximums of different barley varieties

### evaluate_brewing_suitability
Determines the overall brewing quality score and the likelihood of the malt being accepted by a brewer

### analyze_kernel_uniformity
Analyzes the kernel size distribution to determine if the batch is suitable for consistent malting

### predict_malt_properties
Predicts the primary chemical and physical malt properties based on raw barley characteristics

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the malt properties for barley with 12% protein, a kernel size distribution of [0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1], 5% beta-glucan, 0.8 plumpness, and High-Grade variety.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted properties are: Extract Yield: 82%, Diastatic Power: 75%, Wort Protein: 2.1%, Beta-glucan in Wort: 0.4%, and Kolbach Index: 0.45.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is this malt suitable for brewing? Properties: { "extractYield": 0.82, "diastaticPower": 75, "wortProtein": 2.1, "betaGlucanInWort": 0.4, "kolbachIndex": 0.45 }
```

**Response:** 
```
The brewing quality score is 85/100, and the malt has a 92% probability of being accepted by a brewer.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare this batch to a Standard-Grade variety. Properties: { "extractYield": 0.82, "diastaticPower": 75, "wortProtein": 2.1, "betaGlucanInWort": 0.4, "kolbachIndex": 0.45 }
```

**Response:** 
```
The quality gap is 3.5% and the relative performance score is 0.94 compared to the Standard-Grade variety.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I predict the malt properties?**
You can use the `predict_malt_properties` tool by providing the protein content, kernel size distribution, beta-glucan content, kernel plumpness, and the variety malting grade.

**Can I check if the malt is suitable for brewing?**
Yes, after obtaining the malt properties, use the `evaluate_brewing_suitability` tool to determine the brewing quality score and acceptance probability.

**How is kernel uniformity assessed?**
The `analyze_kernel_uniformity` tool analyzes the frequency distribution of grain sizes to calculate a uniformity coefficient and identify malting risks.
