Brewhouse
 |
|
The heart of any brewery is the brew house. In the Krombach brewery, 5 brew lines are in operation. Shredded malt is mixed with natural spring water in the mash tun. After all insoluble constituents have been removed in the straining vat, hops are added to the wort copper.

Fermentation and storage cellar
After boiling, the hot wort is allowed to cool and pumped into the fermentation cellar. The hops are added to the beer wort or mash on the way to fermentation. From the malt sugar it forms alcohol and carbonic acid. After fermentation, the cellar lager beer has sufficient time in the storage tanks to mature to its full taste before being freed of residual hop and protein in filtration.

The filtered beer arrives at the bottling and logistics centre through a subterranean piping. Installed here are seven bottling lines, a keg plant for keg filling and a party-can filling plant. Up to 5.5 million bottles are bottled a day. The keg plant has a capacity of one thousand 50 l kegs an hour.

Logistics
In logistics, the way to our customers in the catering trade begins. Here, up to 450 truck-trailer combinations are loaded and unloaded on a daily basis, which is taken care of, on an average, in 30 to 35 minutes – from their arrival on the parking area up to departure. A total of 3.5 kilometres of pallet transport technology ensures the truck-trailers are loaded and unloaded smoothly and swiftly.
