Description
Phantasm Powder
Phantasm is a revolutionary brewing ingredient created by Jos Ruffell, co-founder of New Zealand’s Garage Project brewery. This patented natural thiol precursor product is extracted from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grape skins and processed into a powder that amplifies tropical and fruity aromas in beer.
Phantasm is rich in Cysteine and Glutathione bound thiol precursors which, under the right fermentation conditions, unlock into free thiols 3SH and 3SHA—the same aromatic compounds that give Sauvignon Blanc wines their distinctive tropical character.
Typical brewing styles: Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, Pale Ale, NZ-style Pilsner, Experimental styles
Characteristics
Amplifies passion fruit, grapefruit, and exotic tropical aromas
How to use: Add during whirlpool at 4-12g/L (6g/L recommended). Works best with thiol-releasing yeast strains such as Omega Yeast Cosmic Punch, Star Party, or Lunar Crush.
Important: Phantasm is not a hop replacement—it amplifies the thiol release from hops fermented alongside it.
Origin: New Zealand (Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grapes)
