Recipe for 5 gallons (19 L) , your efficiency may vary:

"Ich Bin Ein Berliner Weisse"

3.6% ABV 4 IBU

3 lb Rahr Premium Pilsner Malt (50%)
3 lb Rahr Pale Wheat Malt (50%)
3 lb Raspberries added in secondary

Mash:
148 F (64 C) for 90 min

Kettle souring method:
1. After mashout, acidify wort to 4.5 pH with approx 6 mL 88% Lactic Acid

3. Cool to 100 F (38 C)
4. Pitch 1 carton Goodbelly
5. Purge oxygen from kettle and wrap in plastic wrap/tape to seal it from oxygen
6. Keep at 100F for 24-48 hours while waiting for pH to reach 3.2
7. Once target pH reached, remove seal and boil for at least 15 min, adding hops as desired.
8. Pitch twice as much yeast as needed for gravity due to acidic fermentation environment.
