The brewing process in detail
The unique CORNET brewing process generally takes about two months. The following steps ensure the original taste of the blonde beer:
- The beer is brewed, and stored in the fermentation tanks for one week.
- After the primary fermentation, the beer undergoes ripening over toasted oak wood chips.
- This provides the additional aromas, mainly vanilla. The moment at which the influence of the wood chips is sufficiently present in the brew always differs, as wood is a natural product that cannot be standardised.
- Only by tasting can our brewers determine the exact point at which the brew has the right unique taste. This, too, forms part of the traditional beer brewing process.
- For an extra fine sparkle, CORNET then undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle for 2 weeks in the warm room.
Your CORNET is now ready to be served. The only thing left for you to do is make a toast to real friendship with your friends and enjoy our craftsmanship.
