The collection of brewery yeasts of the RIBM contains more than 130 different production strains but only a few strains are frequently used. A better evaluation of their biochemical and technological properties can contribute to the expansion of the choice of suitable strains. One recently studied property is the suitability of production strains for fermenting hopped worts used in HGB technology. Not every production brewery yeast strain can be used for fermentation of hopped worts used in HGB technology because high gravity worts are not ideal enviroments for the growth of brewery yeasts. The high osmotic pressure, the viscosity, the rising ethanol...
