In the first part of presented article are described technical principles of bottle washing. Some technical advantages and disadvantages of basic types of bottle washers are rewiewed. For current applications the machine with bottle infeed and output port of bottles on the same side is more advantageous. Basic requirements on using of chemical components are defmed by the consideration of physic-chemical and biological processes during bottle washing. Schematically the pass of bottles and water through individual segments of machine is represented. The schema is completed with data concerning the temperature course of washing process.(In Czech,...

Homogeneity and modification of malt was being affected by the rate and homogenousness of germination. In the course of after-harvest ripening were found significant differences among varieties by means of germinative energy and germination index. The homogeneity of malt mixture was decreasing with increasing differences in the level of blended malt lots. The depth of modification influenced flavour properties of a hopped wort. In the beer produced from the overmodified malt was found an increased content of polyphenols. The hopped wort from the overmodified malt exhibited a harsher taste.(In Czech, English summary only)
