In top fermenting beers, the yeasts bind with the carbonic acid after fermentation and float to the top of the fermenting vat. Fermentation takes place here at temperatures up to 20 °C.
The Andechs monastery brewery ferments its Weißbier types in historical open fermenting vats in the fermentation cellar under the Andechser Bräustüberl.
