Hello, I am Adam! I am Head Brewer at Cartridge Brewing outside of Cincinnati, OH. I am a former high school and university educator, and I have been making beer for a living for over a decade. My goal here is to give a behind-the-scenes look into the craft brewing industry, and to share any knowledge I have. I am not the perfect brewer, but I am always pushing myself to get better and to learn more. I have an amazing team behind me, my Assistant Brewer, Maggie, and Josh, our cellarperson and packaging lead. Our goal in the brewhouse is to always aim for the bullseye, knowing we will never hit it. That mantra keeps us focused on continual growth, and helps us appreciate the journey of improving as brewers.

I'm a few brews in with Phantasm now, I've also tried a couple commercial beers with it as well and I am not a fan. I've tried it in the whirlpool, at yeast pitch and splitting it between the 2 and I personally do not enjoy the flavor or aroma it imparts. I brewed a lager with just a couple ounces if Saaz fermented with Lunar Crush, an ipa with Helio Gazer and a hazy pale with cosmic punch. I mash hopped all of them, the lager got 2oz at yeast pitch, the ipa 5oz in a 180 whirlpool for 20 minutes and the pale ale got 2.5oz at whirlpool and at yeast pitch. All 3 had a heavy diesel-y, Sauvignon blanc character that to my palate is unpleasant. I did not get a lot of tropical fruit character. Maybe I did something wrong?
