3.5 (2.1) lbs Wheat Malt
1/8 oz  cascade cones
handfull of pilsner for souring

Mash at 150 and collect wort.  Once cooled to 110 deg, add pilsner in mesh bag for souring.  Let sit for 36 hours in small brew kettle.  Boil for 10 min and add hops at end.  Ferment until done and keg.

Actual Recipe (2.5 gallons)

0.75 lbs Torrified Wheat
1/8 oz Cascade cones last 5 minutes

Safale 05

Soured for 42 hours then boiled for 15 minutes and added half a packet of yeast.  Kegged after 8 days of fermentation.

Estimated Alcohol - 4%

Drinkable in 2 weeks.  This was the quickest, easiest, cheapest beer to make.  Slightly sour with a pilsner biscuit backbone.  It was hard to carbonate this.  It doesn't hold a head.  Crushable!! Clean finish.
