Planning and management of the process of a beer production is a complex task, both from technological and managerial point of view. The reason is high number of process stages and their parameters (in relation to the type of final product and to the production portfolio) together with technical limitations of technological equipment (capacity of silos, volume of fermentation and filtration tanks, their filling and emptying rate, cleaning of filters etc.), and also operating conditions (availability of raw material, production facilities, shift regime in sectors of the production with manual labour, availability of filling lines, storage logistics...

Gushing, determined as the amount of beer overflowed from the bottle after its opening depends on the initial concentration of carbon dioxide in the beer and the rate of escape of this gas into the surrounding atmosphere. Insoluble or colloidal particles floating in beer or placed to the inner wall of the bottle are necessary for beer gushing initiation. The particles can bind only limited amount of gas on their surface which corresponds to equilibrium saturation. This mechanism is formally equivalent to the classical equation of gas adsorption on the solid surface. The rate of gas escape from solid particles is determined by the strength of the bond...

At present is the silesian community Velká Polom a part of the district Ostrava-město (Ostrava -Town). The history of this community is inherently connected with a unique fortress Velká Polom, with 2 local breweries and the brewer Jindřich Scholz. The initial renaissance brewery was constructed in the proximity of the fortress, its activity finished at the end of 19. century. At the same time was built a new brewery of Jindřich Scholz brewing beer till 30's of 20. century. The old brewery at the fortress is partially remained to present day, a pub brewery may be installed there. Without a fermentation and lager cellar new brewery remained up to now,...
