Yucca Ectract

[Jaellis]

Has anyone ever experimented with yucca extract for head retention qualities? It is often used in Root Beer to get that nice thick foamy head and I am curious about use in beer? Also when would you add it if you did use it?

Whoa, that's really cool and I didn't know that! Maybe you can find out more information in the soda making section of the forum... So does it not contribute any flavor? I typically use carapils, but know a lot of people that go for flaked barley, oats or wheat, but it would be interesting to see how yucca performed comparitevely. I would assume that you would add the yucca during the last 15 minutes, but am not really sure exactly how it works. I'd be interested to know if you figure out more!
