I honestly believe we haven’t even unlocked the full potential of what Phantasm can do to beer, but the first results show that people are really enjoying it!”


Anytime you can create something that gets people this excited, you have changed the game. The IPA style has reigned supreme for over 30 years in the craft space. Skip Schwartz, who heads up Innovation and Wood Cellar at Weldweks Brewing had this to say – “I think that any new advances in IPA will always be a game-changer for craft beer. One thing that was not accounted for was the residual sugars in the powder drying the beer out a little bit more than we were expecting – I would probably up mash temps or add a touch of dextrin malt to account for that, or use it in a higher ABV beer that would balance the dryness with perceived sweetness from alcohol – say, a Triple IPA.”Ĭan Phastasm powder be a game-changer in the world of IPAs? Malt-wise we tried to keep things as light and lean as possible to let the hops and Phantasm shine. In developing a recipe we tried to use some hops that we thought would pair and play well with both the thiols as well as any residual sauvignon blanc flavor, if any – so we went with Citra and Nelson. It is added during late fermentation to encourage biotransformation, similar to a dry hop charge.”Īs for brewing process changes or adjustments, Andrew stated, “You have to take into account that there is a small amount of residual sugar left on the grape skins and that needs time, and yeast, to ferment out, otherwise the process is similar to any other dry-hopped beer.” and “Phantasm.NZ recommended treating the powder similar to Cryo Hops and to make sure that there was some active yeast to ferment out the small amount of residual sugars. Positive thiols in hoppy beers are associated with the tropical fruit aromatics that you get out of new world hop varieties as well as New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. “The purpose of the powder is to help boost thiol production in beer. what his thoughts were about the addition of the powder. So what do the brewers think about getting the opportunity to use Phantasm and what are their thoughts? The Brewers Association had a very in-depth presentation that can be found here. So what are Thiol Precursors? They are a bit too complicated to explain, but in short, they help to bring flavors out during fermentation. They are incredibly rich in Thiol precursors, which when added correctly to a fermenting beer can unlock into strong tropical fruit aromas.” Jos Ruffell of Phantasm.NZ tells us “Phantasm is an extraction made from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grapes. If you’ve had a beer with Phantasm powder, you’ve had one of the most unique and hard-to-get beer ingredients on the market today. More specifically, Sauvignon Blanc grape skins. When it comes to new ingredients in beer, you might be thinking about the items that you would find in a heavily adjuncted stout or fruited IPA.
