It has a different grain bill and a different fermentation schedule like you said. All the other products (draught, extra stout, and special export) are made in the main brew house. And have the same fermentation schedule just different grain bills/hop extract additions. Special export is the only beer they make that uses only 100% malted barley. In the other beers they use some unmalted barley and let the malted barleys diastic power mash this aswell. It is up to 30% unmalted barley now for the regular stout. It should be noted that Extra stout and draught are the exact same beer just one is carbonated and the other nitrogenated.[/quote:2fvgvgxa]

Do I detect a bit of real inside knowledge here?

If so then what is the "secret ingredient known only to 3 brewers"?? ( Ref to the Discovery channel "mega factories" program )

At least two users are former Guinness brewery employees. I can't remember if Guyzer was one of those who "came out"

This thread just gets better!!

So here is the million dollar question:

Is it true that G uses a "heading agent" that is basically a seaweed ( caregeenan like ) extract that helps head retention??

I have no problem with using a natural, good for you product like seaweed extacts ( after all we use "irish Moss" as a finning agent ) <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Its just I love to get to the bottom of things!! <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

Like:

Did OJ Simpson really do it?
Who really shot JFK?
Was Bertie an inocent lamb to the slaughter?
Who killed Mr. Burns?

Happy Easter to all
