Essential Ingredients for Premium NA Beer
Brewing exceptional non-alcoholic beer begins with premium ingredients:
- Specialty Malts: Pilsner, Munich, and Carapils for body retention
- Low-Alpha Hops: Saaz, Hallertau, or Citra for delicate aromas
- NA-Specific Yeast: Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. chevalieri strains
- Water Profile: Calcium sulfate (75-150ppm) for enhanced hop perception
Commercial brewers use temperature-controlled storage to preserve ingredient integrity.

Our stainless steel filtration systems ensure consistent water profiles batch-to-batch.
Precision Mashing Process
Mashing for NA beer requires specialized temperature protocols:
- Protein Rest: 45°C (113°F) for 20 minutes
- Saccharification: 63°C (145°F) for maximum fermentability
- Mash-out: 75°C (167°F) to halt enzymatic activity
Coff’s mash tuns with rakes ensure even temperature distribution and prevent dough balls.
Boiling & Hop Integration
Optimized Boiling Process
Our professional brewing systems feature:
- 90-minute rolling boils for DMS reduction
- Automated boil-over prevention systems
- Energy-efficient steam jackets
Strategic Hop Addition
- Bittering Hops: 60-min addition (15-20 IBU)
- Flavor Hops: 15-min addition
- Aroma Hops: Whirlpool addition at 80°C (176°F)
Discover hop dosing systems for precise oil extraction.
Rapid Cooling Technology
Critical steps for flavor preservation:
- Cool wort to 20°C (68°F) within 20 minutes
- Utilize plate chillers with 304 stainless construction
- Integrate oxygen injection systems (8-10ppm)
Our glycol-chilled heat exchangers achieve 30°C/minute cooling rates.
Yeast Management Protocols
Special considerations for NA beer fermentation:
- Pitch rates: 1.5x standard ale pitches
- Temperature: 15-18°C (59-64°F)
- Pressure: 15 PSI to limit ester production
Coff’s conical fermenters feature glycol jackets for ±0.3°C control.

Alcohol Removal Technologies
Professional methods for dealcoholization:
- Vacuum Distillation: 30°C at 50mbar pressure
- Reverse Osmosis: 200-400 psi with spiral-wound membranes
- Membrane Filtration: 200 Dalton MWCO membranes
Our modular alcohol removal systems preserve 92% of original aromas.
Carbonation Methods
Achieving perfect effervescence:
- In-line Carbonation: 2.4-2.8 vols CO₂
- Natural Carbonation: Krausening with 10% actively fermenting wort
- Isobaric Carbonation: 10-12°C at 30 PSI for 48 hours
Coff’s bright beer tanks feature carbonation stones for uniform bubble distribution.
