The paper highlights some aspects how the fermentation process is influenced by laboratory fermentation vessels' shape. As their height increased, the yeast in fermenting hopped wort became more concentrated. At first, the fermentation rate decreased and after having reached certain height rose again according to increasing yeast concentration. Fermentation vessel diameter influenced the fermentation process in a smaller degree. In the course of hopped wort fermentation and second fermentation performed in vessels of various shapes, besides of hopped wort convection mode, there come also forward influences in connection with yeast activity in partially...

The turbidimeter MZN 93-MC2 (Beer Turbidity Measuring Device), measures liquids turbidity in two channels simultaneously, differing by detector location in space. Each channel shows a different sensitivity to various species of haze forming particles. By testing of the sensitivity of both channels to some species of solid particles (kieselgur, mikroorganisms) manifested its ability to distinguish in some cases the type of particles forming the turbidity.(In Czech, English summary only)
