I'm a bit confused as to how this could be considered distilling OR concentrating.
The volume of beer never changed from freezing...the ice was never skimmed off. The freezing was merely a means of separating the existing beer into two gravities. The total volume was the same pre and post freezing, correct?
 
@fezzman yep you're exactly right. it just got tiresome trying to explain that or what the legalities of everything surrounding it might be.
 
This was a great read. I have 4 gals of a Belgium Tripel that perhaps I can save with this process.
 
Any reason why you couldn't freeze in a keg, dispense out what doesn't freeze, melt the frozen part and referment it, slowly adding back the first part of the beer? Seems like it might be easier/cleaner than doing it in a bowl with a funnel
