Notes
Steep the German CaraFoam and Wheat Flakes in 6 quarts of 150 degree water for 20 minutes. Rinse with 1 gallon 150 degree water. Add the Dry Wheat and Dry Extra Light. Bring total volume to 3 gallons for the boil. After any foaming subsides add 1 ounce of Hallertau Hop Pellets. Boil for 45 minutes. Add the lemon, 2 grams of Grains of Paradise, the second ounce of Hallertau Hop Pellets, 1 ounce of Irish Moss and anything else you might like at this point. Continue the boil for another 15 minutes. Cool and transfer to Primary Fermenter with a total of 5 gallons of water. Ferment in Primary for no more than one week and no more than one week in the secondary fermenter. Keg, cool and force carbonate. Notes: The lemon is the peel of one lemon. Another ounce of Hallertau could also be added with 5 minutes remaining in the boil.

Within the "Brewing Notes" the addition of Irish Moss should read: .5 teaspoon. The ounce notation is in error.
