The article deals with a new method which has been elaborated for calculating the content of active matters in hops, i. e. all resins generally and ʋ - bitter hop resins particularly. During prolonged storage the proportion between various components is gradaually changed. It can be stabilized either by making hop extract or by milling hops and subsequent packing. For good and uniform bitter taste of beer hop extract should be combined with processed hops.(In Czech, English summary only)
