The studies on the usability of amaranth grains for the spirit production allow us to state that it is a suitable raw material for agricultural distilleries, especially for technology of pressureless liberation of starch. The amaranth grains can be easily ground on buhrstone mills. It was found that application of PLS method (i.e. without pressure and thermal treatment of raw material) resulted in higher yield by about 2.7 L per 100 kg of amaranth starch (1.4 L of ethanol from 100 kg of raw material). Addition of amaranth (10%) to rye mashes resulted in higher yield of fermentation by about 0.6 to 0.7 L obtained from 100 kg of rye mash. Simultaneously,...

Quality control procedures were monitored in a number of Czech breweries. All Gram positive bacterial contaminants found in the beer were collected and isolated. The genera of G+ bacteria obtained from the breweries were isolated and identified by means of the biochemical sets API 50 CHL. This method is generally used as a comparative method for identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria strains.Pasteurised beer was inoculated with all identified bacteria in the absence of oxygen. Haze formation was checked over three months. The results show that different beer spoilage was observed on inoculating beer with isolates identified as identical.Quality...

A new KHS candle filter system INNOFILL GETRA ECO was developed and tested in breweries significantly improving economics of precoat beer filtration and stabilisation of beer. The technical innovations include construction of candle head and fastening system, candle matrix, kieselgur intake capacity, cleaning system of filter. Elements and filter vessel, deaeration system of filter vessel and infeed distributor. Precoat beer filtration (with DE) results in major savings for brewery operating filter due to reduced water consumption for cleaning, reduced kieselguhr consumption, reduced time consumption for operation, servicing and maintaining filter...
