Barley Checking method (from the Star-K:

  1. Place all the barley you wish to use in a white bowl.
  2. Fill the bowl with water, a few inches over the top of the barley.
  3. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.
  4. If there are insects present, they will float to the top.

From the COR Detroit:
Packaged barley in general may be subject to infestation during the summer months, as the packages may be stored in warehouses with excessive temperatures and eggs may hatch within the package. It is therefore recommended to check all barley, even other brands and other codes.
