ingredients

3 lbs dried wheat extract
2 lbs wheat malt
1 lb barley malt
1 lb dried malt extract
2 ¹⁄₂ ounces mt. hood hops
wyeast wheat beer yeast

directions

Make a yeast starter two days beforehand.
Mash the three pounds of malt a la Miller.
Boil for one hour, adding 1-1/2 ounces hops at the start, 1/2 ounce at 30 minutes, and 1/2 ounce at 5 minutes.
Cool and pitch yeast.
Ferment.
Bottle.
I primed half the batch (5 gal) with 1/3 cup corn sugar and the other half with 1/2 cup clover honey.
After two weeks, the beer was great.
The beer primed with honey, however, was way too carbonated.
All you can taste is bubbles.
