This is my adaptation of Austin Homebrew's Dos Equis clone kit. I made it once before (omitting the included maltodextrin) and ended up with a very fine Negra Modelo-like beer. Hopping was a little light and the malt body a little more pronounced than I would have like so I made some changes, upping the IBUs and adding a little corn sugar to lighten the body. In the first version I used Wyeast 2124 Bohemiam Lager yeast. In this one I'm going with WLP940 Mexican Lager, which I hope will get me closer to the amber cervesa I'm shooting for.

edited to add: The name of the beer is an homage to
Señor Misterioso from
Archie McPhee. For more on the man, the mystery, the phenominon that is Señor Misterioso, read

In some circles, the elimination of Señor Misterioso and his atomic suit is of the utmost priority; to others, he is a sought-after dinner speaker, even more so than Henry Kissinger.
