Costco Organic is the cheapest I've seen, at a little under $5/gal with taxes.

Give it some time. If your wheat has been bottled for only four days, it will be VERY difficult to determine how it will turn out. It's tough to follow these directions, but I recommend you forget about those bottles for at least six weeks. Flavors can change dramatically.

Please use a sugar. Sugars are reliable, easy, and less expensive.

Beano will definitely help you control your FG. If you're really worried about the drying the beer out too much, you can do as another poster said and denature the enzyme (also killing the yeast) or add some campden tablets to stop the yeast.

You'll be just as well off if you don't do any drilling. Do your primary fermentation in the bucket. It will be much easier to clean, has more head space, and you can poor chilled wort into it easily to add some oxygen. When the primary fermentation has slowed down, transfer your beer from...

Brewing a wheat can be more rewarding, especially if you're not familiar with the style. It may sound somewhat self-defeating, but being less familiar with the style may allow you to enjoy the fruits of your labor more and worry about how your brew differs from commercial brews of the same...
