"Hello all,

I am working on my first batch at the moment. I will let you know how it turns out. But, I have another off-topic question for you.

How do you turn old beer into a distilled spirit?

A couple years back, I went to the Great Lakes Distillery and bought a seasonal pumpkin spirit that they made from a neighboring brewery's (Lakefront Brewery - the best tour I've ever taken! They also make a really good gluten-free beer! Yum!) seasonal pumpkin beer: http://www.greatlakesdistillery.com/pumpkin.htm

I was talking to a friend the other day and he has a bunch of beer that he brewed that has spoiled. Here are my questions:

1) How is this possible? Do you have a recipe I could follow? What do I need to turn his beer into a distilled spirit?
2) Is this even worth the effort?
3) Has anyone on the forum tried this? If so, how was your experience?

Thanks again!

-Cletus"

Dump it in the pot & strip it, then mix it in the next time you reflux. Beer is nothing more than a low alcohol wash.
