German vocabulary question

[BeirKaiser]

Hallo!

I was in brewing class today and my professor mentioned top cropping the yeast. I use to remember a fair bit of German brewing terms but I can’t remember what the word for it was. Of course it was a string of words put together. I remember the direct translation being something like “taking from the king’s crown” and I remember “könig” being in there. Can anyone help me please? If not, I start my internship at Hofbräuhaus soon. Maybe they can ask the Fatherland for me.

Danke

I thought I was on the right track with this http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/Glossary_of_German_Brewing_Terms
but nothing jumps out as a match to what you referenced.

The Hofbräuhaus? In Munich?
That would be amazing I'm sure. I've been there a few times and always had a great time...

Cheers!

Or the one in Kentucky?

Anywhere outside of Munich, that would be "an" Hofbrauhaus, not "the"

Cheers!

Goggle translate says - oben beschneiden der Hefe. Does that ring any bells?

Hi, Im currently in German with my wife is German and also a home brewer. I asked her your question and she does not know the word that include König“ you are looking for. In German brewing terminology yeast is „ Hefe“ (it’s a noun so it’s always capitalized). Skimming off the top is „abschöpen“ or with an American keyboard „abschoepen“. To skim yeast off the top is „Hefe abschöpfen„. My wife knows a retired Braumeister here and will ask him if perhaps there is an old expression that fits your description. If I get more info I will let you know.

I have also never heard of a term like this. Maybe you're mixing something up? The foam on the beer could be called Schaumkrone meaning foamcrown. Maybe something like that?

Ich mochte ein bier bitter

 

[Miraculix]

Ich mochte ein bier bitter

This literally translates to:
"I liked a beer bitter."



You tried to say: "Ich möchte ein Bier, bitte."?

Punctuation is everything!
*and spelling , lol. I was at the bar.

The Bitburger brewery wants you to say, "Bitte ein Bit!"
