Having spent over two years working in Slovakia, I am well used to Pilsner Urquell as mentioned above. That along with the original Budvar Budweiser and two Slovak local beers called Topvar and Smady Mnich (Thirsty Monk).
More information on Urquell is here , Budvar here , Topvar here and Smady Mnich here. In the hope of ensuring friendship of beers across the water, have a look at this (Tagus is a Portugese beer, Tennents and Tartan are Scottish ones):  |

Thanks Ivan. Brings back pleasant memories of drinking The Thirsty Monk in
the Slovak Pub on Obchodna in Bratislava.  |

Dave,
had a look at your blogg - what a great way to share your hobby with us. I like the pics - the kit looks quite professional (not for commercial production of course). Thanks for sharing your progress. I am your fan and will counting the bubbles awaiting the final outcome!! |

Thanks RobSab. I sure hope it is all going smoothly. I guess I will find out a bit when the fermentation is done and I can get an idea of the alcohol content. Then I still have to wait another 2 to 4 weeks after I bottle it for the taste test. I guess that is why they trained me for "hurry up and wait" in the army
Best regards, |

Jeff --
Watching the airlock on my fermentation tank, I would say that yeast also passes a lot of gas -- LOL. Wonder if tiny little daddy yeasts are in there telling even smaller yeast kids to pull their finger? Best regards, |

Quite coorect
Yeast are at it continually If you have a microscope or access to one it is interesting to watch. (,akes me sound perverted) at a good magnification you can see Mitosis occuring and all the yeast cells organells. a Yeast cell is visable in X 40 magnifiaction. yeast when fermenting are repoducing (asexualy) and you can see the new yeast cells bud. they look like a figue of 8 . did you add oxygen yeast need oxygen to make new cell membranes. |

did you add oxygen yeast need oxygen to make new cell membranes. Jeff -- Unfortunately I don't have a microscope. It does sound interesting, though. As far as adding oxygen, I basically let the wort splash as I siphoned it from the kettel into the brew keg and will do so again when I move it into the secondary fermentation tank. Most of the material I have read on brewing indicates this as a way to introduce oxygen into the wort. I have seen a device called the Oxynator which introduces oxygen under pressure into the wort and may purchase one at some point in the future. Best Regards, |
