Germany: Winter and spring malting barley yields well despite negative preconditions
|
Industry and trade had been very reserved about crop prospects in Germany, planting had been late, weather had not been ideal, and fields looked thin. However, winter barley results are reported to be good.
This year the supply of domestic two-row winter malting barley may reach 150,000 tons. Unexpectedly, yields and grain size of spring barley harvested in the southwest and south of the Danube were good as well, albeit with variable protein contents from 10 to 13 %.
It is now estimated that the barley crop in the North and East will also be better than forecast, although some quantities will be down-graded to feed barley because of high protein.
Altogether Germany expects deliveries of 1.6 mln tons of spring plus 150,000 tons of winter malting barley, cutting down the import deficit to 700,000 tons.

Czech Republic: A better harvest of 5,950 tonnes of hops is expected this year after the previous two weaker years
|
Czech hop growers expect a better harvest this year after the previous two weaker years, Bohumil Pazler, chairman of the Czech Hop Growers Association, was quoted as saying by ČTK on August 8.
Last year's hop harvest amounted to 5,630 tonnes, and this year around 5.950 tonnes of hops may be harvested, he said.
Hops are grown on 5.345 ha this year. Growers expect a per ha yield of 1.08 to 1.1 tonnes on average, against last year's 1.04 tonnes.
Hop prices are expected to grow by 15 to 20 percent year-on-year. Farmers want a minimum of Kc180.000 to Kc200.000 a tonne to cover their input costs and eliminate the strong crown effects.
Around 80 percent of the hop harvest is exported.
The hop fields rank the Czech Republic third after Germany and the USA. Hops were grown on 51.000 ha in the world last year.

Isolation and Identification of Potential Beer-Spoilage Pediococcus
inopinatus and Beer-Spoilage Lactobacillus backi Strains Carrying
the horA and horC Gene Clusters
Kazumaru Iijima, Koji Suzuki, Shizuka Asano,
Hidetoshi Kuriyama and Yasushi Kitagawa
Abstract
J. Inst. Brew. 113(1), 96–101, 2007
Four beer-spoilage strains, LA20, LA21, LA22 and LA23, were
isolated from brewery environments. Based on the 16S rRNA
gene sequence, LA20 was identified as Pediococcus inopinatus
and the remaining three were identified as Lactobacillus backi.
The homologs of horA and horC, the hop resistance genes originally
identified in L. brevis ABBC45, were detected simultaneously
in LA22 and LA23, while only a horA homolog and a
horC homolog were found in LA20 and LA21 respectively. The
5.6 kb DNA regions containing the horA homolog in LA20 and
LA22 were almost 99% identical with the corresponding region
of ABBC45. Similarly the 8.2 kb regions containing the horC
homolog in LA21 and LA22 were more than 99% identical with
that of ABBC45. Interestingly the horA-containing 5.6 kb regions
in LA20 and LA22 were found to be completely identical
despite the distinct genus status. Coupled with the fact that
LA20 and LA22 were isolated from the same sampling site,
these results, taken collectively, reinforce our hypothesis that
horA and horC genes were acquired by beer-spoilage species
through horizontal gene transfer and confirm the usefulness of
horA and horC as genetic markers for the species-independent
determination of beer-spoilage ability in lactic acid bacteria.
Key words: Beer-spoilage ability, hop resistance gene, horA,
horC, horizontal gene transfer, Lactobacillus backi, Pediococcus
inopinatus
