Heavy rainfall with a total of 60–100 mm of water and temperatures in the range of 20–25 °C saved the annual hop harvest from the yield decline that occurred in 2022. However, the above-average harvest of nearly 7000 tonnes and a yield of 1.44 t/ha was achieved at the expense of the bitter compound content of most varieties. The alpha acid content of Saaz hops was well below 3.0% w/w in all hop-growing regions, one of the lowest levels for the last 10 years. It is even lower than the extremely hot and dry year 2022 and comparable to 2015. Lower levels of alpha acids were also found in Sládek (4.8–6.7% w/w), Premiant (6.9–7.9% w/w) and Saaz Special (4.3% w/w). The varieties Agnus, Rubín and Vital contained stable amounts of alpha acids in the range of 11–13% w/w, which is about the same as in previous years. The total production of alpha acids in Czech hops from the 2023 harvest was 253 tons, which is average in a longerterm comparison.

Together with polyphenolic compounds it can affect the quality and stability of beer. In our pilot brewing trials of pale lager (200 L), malts of three barley varieties were compared using either infusion or double decoction mashing. Total polyphenols, anthocyanogens and flavanoids were determined in sweet and hopped wort. Free phenolics were measured by HPLC coupled with coulometric detection. Antiradical power was determined by RC-DCPI, ARA-DPPH and ESR-T150 methods. In this way the influence of mashing method and barley variety on polyphenols and antiradical activity of sweet wort was demonstrated showing that the effect of mashing was stronger (ANOVA). The results showed significantly higher, i.e. by tens of per cent, levels of all polyphenols studied in both the decoction sweet wort and hopped wort. The decoction process resulted in higher levels of the antiradical power, ARA-DPPH (37–47%) and RC-DCPI (25–60%). A cluster analysis partitioned 28 free phenolic compounds in sweet wort primarily by variety and secondarily by mashing. The Malz malt showed a greater increase in polyphenols, free phenolic compounds and antiradical power in the decoction process compared to the Bojos and Sebastian malts. Decoction mashing introduces higher levels of phenolic antioxidants into the beer with the potential to improve the sensory stability of the beer and provide health benefits to the consumer. The different behaviour of malts and barley varieties needs to be better elucidated in further research.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"330 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140455422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lower content of grain admixtures unusable for malting is favourable. Unfortunately, some of the barley was affected by precipitation, which came in the form of thunderstorms prior to harvest, but mainly by the rainfall that fell in the first decade of August and interrupted the harvest.

Changes in the chemical and sensory profile between 2 and 6 weeks of cold maturation were evaluated in pilot brews (200 l) of a pale lager of 11% and 15% original gravity. In addition to the basic analytical parameters and shelf life, volatiles, hop essential oils, fatty acids, amino acids and stale flavour aldehydes were monitored. The sensory quality of the beers was evaluated using descriptive method. The dynamics of changes in the monitored groups of analytes during maturation of the tested variants was different, but without substantial influence on the overall impression and shelf life of the beer. Under the experimental conditions, it was possible to reduce the maturation time of a common Czech-style lager to 2 weeks of cold lagering. The gradual slight improvement in the overall impression of beers brewed at original gravity indicates the need for a long maturation period to fine-tune the sensory profile of premium lagers. A short maturation period of 2 weeks appears to be beneficial for beers brewed using a high gravity brewing protocol. The findings obtained can be a useful guide for optimising the maturation of Czech-style lager in practice, although the dynamics of changes in the monitored substances and their influence on the sensory characteristics of the beer may be to some degree different when scaled up to operational practice.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78620743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cross-resistance to triazole compounds represents a significant health risk to both plants and humans. The application of some widely used fungicides causes increased production of DON. Residual concentrations of hydrophobic triazoles change chemical profile of malt and cause delayed fermentation with an impact on alcohol content. Increasing legislative restrictions of pesticide applications encourage the search for alternatives, starting with the overview of current state of knowledge on biological protection against Fusarium spp. Despite the fact that bioagents have been researched intensively, including field applications and several registrations, biological preparations for disease control against Fusarium head blight (FHB) of malting barley are not used on a mass scale. Generally, bioagents appear to be quite sensitive to environmental changes and soil variability, which causes problems with the evaluation of their effectiveness under field conditions. For efficient disease control of malting barley, the application based on biopreparations registered against FHB combined with weather prediction system can be recommended. With an emphasis on the occurrence of Fusarium graminearum as a key producer of deoxynivalenol (DON), the prediction system for malting barley should be employed from plant emerging to milk stage. When predicting a high incidence of the pathogen, chemical intervention must be considered. However, repeated application of bioagents in field conditions together with the implementation of bioagents directly into the malting process proved to be a promising way to decrease chemical interventions from the cultivation of malting barley.","PeriodicalId":17834,"journal":{"name":"Kvasny prumysl","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78711075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
