Pretty sure it's just sugar, same as brown rice syrup, and lacks the yeast nutrients of the Briess sorghum syrup we use to brew.
 
I was going to say the same. That while it is used, I think that it lacked the nutrients needed. I couldn't find anything about it though. There's also questions about the body and dryness when used on a by-itself basis. I know a few beers that do use tapioca syrup as one of the fermentable ingredients though.
 
I've used this exact tapioca syrup in a brew, and it came out a bit dry. i'd add some malted GF grains to give it body along with yeast nutrient.
 
After digging I found this video:

But all of my attempts to find the recipe, oddly "Jo-Jo's Tapioca Pudding" only result in websites that my computer says are harmful :(

Stopped by a hop farm/lhbs/greenhouse on the way home from denver today... I saw some tapioca syrup next to their sorghum, label actually stated for gluten-free brewing... Forgot to get the name of it... Anyone else find info on this stuff?
 
I gave up on finding "official" tapioca syrup from a homebrew supply. I purchased Barry Farm's tapioca syrup and I have made 2 beers using it. One is bottled the other is currently fermenting. The bottled one has been one of the top 2 favorite beers among my friends and family who can drink barley based beer so if you have the funds, I'd recommend using tapioca syrup. But sorghum isn't bad. The #1 favorite is my PA IPA which is sorghum and brown rice syrup.
