Ok, I get to deal with a lot of businesses in my line of work(which will remain unamed), and I recently was working on a project involving a large commercial brewery in South America(my project unfortunately had nothing at all to do with the brewing process).
However, I discovered that they have tankers full of Corn Syrup brought in at a time, purchased by the ton, and I am trying to figure out what exactly they are doing with the corn syrup? No one I am working with actively participates in the brewing process and they either didn't know, or they just don't want to share, and now I am curious.
I can't imagine they are using it for priming sugar as I can't find any evidence that their beer is bottle conditioned, which leaves me to think they are using it to add fermentable sugars or to sweeten the beer some. I've never had their beer as it's not available in the US, but I'm getting the impression they would be considered BMC(or not a micro/craft brewer).
Do any of the BMC's here use corn sugar, and if so for what?
