So, hypothetically speaking, if someone were to try and do something creative in a brew, but accidentally ended up with a large amount of high fructose corn syrup in their beer (say from not reading the ingredients list on something)...
Let's assume this beer did not ferment all the way (no surprise, s-04 doesn't eat HFCS...).
Naturally this beer would taste oversweet due to unfermented sugars.
Is there any yeast that could digest HFCS? I'm thinking maybe brettanomyces, I know White Labs sells some (or I could just hope for a very kind strain to eventually infect my beer...)
Anyone know if this could do it?
If not, is there any fining that drops unfermented sugars out? Gelatin?
...hypothetically of course.
