Study of sensory-active compounds of hops in dry-hopped beers
Zlochová, Tereza ; Sobotníková, Jana (advisor) ; Jelínek, Ivan (referee)
Study of sensory-active compounds of hops in dry-hopped beers Key words: hop, hop oils, dry-hopping, beer, beer-aging, beer sensory analysis Nowadays, dry-hopping is a widely used method of beer making, with its pros and cons. The main purpose of dry-hopping is to derive specific hop aroma to beer in its very unchanged form. The essential part of this work consists of a study of hop essential oils, as the main providers of desired hop aroma. Firstly, the validation of methods for isolating essential oils from hop material and beer is carried out. Secondly, the transfer of these volatiles in process of dry-hopping is studied and the impact on beer aroma profile is discussed. Subsequently, changes of essential oils profile during beer-aging are observed and evaluated with a valuable tool, the sensory analysis. This study was realized on beer samples from Brewers' Choice program, thanks to the Research Institute of Brewing and Malting and Lenka Strakova, the Pilsner Urquell brewer.

Možnosti chmelení piva za studena
Hlaváčková, Jana
This bachelor thesis deals with characteristics and possibilities of cold beer brewing. Its content is a specification of hops as a basic ingredient and its chemical composition. Main focuspoint are substances that give a beer its typical taste, description of a production process and characteristics of aromatic hop varieties used for cold hopping. Part of the thesis includes description of instruments used for cold hopping both abroad and in the Czech Republic and a bitterness specification using EBU and IBU units.

The influence of type of dry hopping on the senzomic and sensory profile of top fermented beer
Bečková, Alena ; prof.Ing.Pavel Dostálek, CSc. (referee) ; Olšovská,, Jana (advisor)
The thesis is focused on the effect of dry hopping on beer senzomy and sensory profile of the top-fermented beer. The goal of this work was to modify samples of the top-fermented beer by dry hopping, to analyze them by senzomy and sensory way, to optimize the method for hop essential oils analysis and to compare the results to the available literature. The problematics of the used raw materials, analyzed substances, technological and analytical methods are discussed in the theoretical part. The practical part is composed of technological preparation of the samples and their analysis. There was used a commercial product of the type of American Indian Pale Ale in this work. There was added a Cascade hop by dry hopping into the commercial product. The basic analysis of gravity and attenuation of the beer were done on the fresh beer and the two months old beer. The selected essential oils, carbonyl compounds, bitter acids, selected metal contaminant and nitrates were established in the beer and in the hop. The samples of the beer were sensory evaluated in the same two-month interval. It was determined that the dry hopping influenced the increased pH of the beer. There was established the quantity of essentials oils in the samples and it was compared to the sensorial results. These results can be used as a base for the next exploration, some part of the results are applicable in the beer industry.
