My first try, using materials from Home Brew Fetish in Bandera St., used only the mesquite as the ingredient. The yeast did her thing and so did the mesquite flour, the end product is a beer worth of the Vikings, strong, woody, past new, taste and smell. 3 Home Brew hombres, did not care for it either. Need to use a beer formula and flavor it with mesquite flour.
As soon as I get it done will tell you about it.
II Trial
Used American Light from Iron Master ID IP142AG product of UK in came in a 64 oz can. I added my mesquite flour to it and my final Brix was 15, after 8 days at 70-74 degrees it came down to 7.5 degrees Brix. I used a spoon full of mesquite flour per bottle. After a week the product is drinkable although strong and with a significant presence, very light amount of head from secondary fermentation.
I did get asked for seconds this time.
