OG = 1.045  FG = 1.010
IBU = 18  SRM = 4  ABV = 4.5%

Ingredients
3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) Coopers light malt extract syrup
2.2 lbs. (1.0 kg) Briess wheat dry malt extract
0.5 lbs. (0.2 kg) wheat malt
3 oz. (85 g) Carapils (dextrin) malt
6 oz. (170 g) acidulated malt
1.0 AAU Styrian Golding hops (FWH) (0.25 oz./7g of 4.0% alpha acid)
3.5 AAU Magnum (60 min.) (0.25 oz./1.8 g of 14.0% alpha acid)
2.1 AAU Styrian Golding hops (30 min.) (0.53 oz./15 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
1.4 AAU Styrian Golding hops (2 min.) (0.35 oz./10 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
White Labs WLP0015 (California Ale) or Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) or Safale US-05 yeast
0.75 cup of corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step
On brew day, mash with the wheat and dextrin malt grains in 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water at 152 ºF (67 ºC) for 30 mins, then add the acidulated malt and hold for another 30 min. Remove grains from wort, add the first wort addition of Styrian Golding hops, malt syrup and dried malt extract, then bring to a boil.

Add the Magnum hops and boil for 60 mins. Add the second addition of Styrian Golding hops for the last 30 mins. of the boil and add the last addition of Styrian Golding hops for the last 2 mins. of the boil. Now add wort to 2 gallons cool water in a sanitary fermenter and top off with cool water to 5.5 gallons (20.9 L). Cool the wort to 75 ºF (24 ºC), aerate the beer and pitch your yeast.

Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68 ºF (20 ºC) and hold at this temperature until the yeast has finished fermentation. Bottle and enjoy!

All-grain option:
This is a single infusion mash. On brew day, substitute in 8.7 lbs. (3.9 kg) of 2 row malt in place of the extracts. Mash grains at 152 ºF (67 ºC) for 60 mins. Collect enough wort to boil for 90 mins. and have a 5.5-gallon (20.9-L) yield (about 7 gallons or 26 L). Lower the Styrian Golding hops in the 30-min. boil to 0.5 oz. (14 g) to account for higher extraction ratio of a full boil. The rest of the recipe is the same as above.
