Kraeusen
From BrewWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Kraeusen is the thick foamy head that forms at the top of the beer during the early stages of fermentation. Some brewers remove the kraeusen by a blow-off tube, siphoning or skimming as it often contains yeast, tannins and proteins leftover from the boiling process. However, most modern commercial brewers do not remove the kraeusen.
