Krombacher · Glossary
The Brewing Process
Krombacher beer is brewed in clear, traditional steps — using only the four Reinheitsgebot ingredients.
Mashing & lautering
Malted grain is mixed with hot Felsquellwasser® so its starches convert to fermentable sugars, then the liquid wort is separated from the spent grain.
Boiling & hopping
The wort is boiled and hops are added, giving the beer its bitterness, aroma and natural stability.
Fermentation & maturation
Fresh, single-use yeast ferments the wort into beer, which then rests in a long, cold maturation before it is filtered and filled.
