Shorter brewing cycles and five - day working week require necessarily new conception and lay - out of breweries. The article deals with the project of a new brewery with the annual capacity of 300 000 hl. The technological equipment of the brewery incorporates several new ideas permitting to step up the production in seasonal peaks without extending normal working hours and without introducing a six - day working week. Economical analysis of the project confirms that it offers substantial savings both of capital investments and production costs.(In Czech, English summary only)

In the Kolín yeast plant the consumption of antifoam fat has been reduced by 65 % after an automatic defoaming plant has been installed and put into operation. Conventional defoaming fat is used as an antifoam agent and is applied in the form of 1:1 alcohol solution. Beside saving costs and material the new plant simplifies handling operations with fat, improves oxygen transfer during fermentation and contributes to better colour, taste, flavor and compressibility of yeast.(In Czech, English summary only)

Biological degradation of acids present in must through the Schizosaccharomyces yeast.Peer-reviewed article

E. MINÁRIK, A. NAVARA

Kvasny Prum. 1967; 13(5): 104-108 | DOI: 10.18832/kp1967014  

Large - scale experimental research works have been carried out to determine, whether some kinds of the Schizosaccharomyces yeast can intensify the degradation of malic acid present in the fermenting must. Our present knowledge of the mechanism of degradation and the results of practical application of the method do not allow to recommend it as a reliable biological process securing an efficient degradation of acids.(In Czech, English summary only)

Some problems of sanitary and bacteriological conditions in plants making non - alcoholic beverages.Peer-reviewed article

V. BARTL

Kvasny Prum. 1967; 13(5): 109-111 | DOI: 10.18832/kp1967015  

The article deals with the reasons of bacterial contamination of the equipment and products of plants making non - alcoholic beverages and points some typical centres, from where microflora can easily spread. The prevailing conditions must be improved by introducing more rigorous microbiologic inspection and sanitary regulations.(In Czech, English summary only)
