Notes

Mesquite Beans:

  • Dried to start (Should to be dry at harvest)
  • Rinsed and broke whole pods into about 0.5 inch pieces
  • Bulk of beans (>80%) went straight into steeping, while the rest were roasted in oven at 250F until inside of pods just started to brown
  • Steep beans in slow cooker (set to low) with about the same water/bean consistency that you would see in a mash
  • Steep for 3 - 4 hours and rinse with hot water into a pot
  • Boil in a pot to reduce volume. I try to reduce volume about 50%
  • Add bean extract at 15min in kettle
